Origin Watermelon Salad with Feta

This salad draws inspiration from Mediterranean cuisine, where fruit and cheese pairings are common. The contrast of watermelon and feta has become a modern classic around the world.

Ingredients

• 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon

• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese

• ½ small red onion, thinly sliced

• ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, torn

• 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves (optional), torn

• Juice of 1 lime

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine watermelon cubes, feta, red onion, and mint (and basil if using).
• Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil.
• Gently toss to combine.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste — go light on the salt, as feta is naturally salty.
• Serve immediately, garnished with extra mint if desired.

Notes

• Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.
• Add a handful of arugula or baby spinach for extra greens.
• A sprinkle of toasted nuts or seeds (like pumpkin or pine nuts) adds extra crunch.
