Method

 

Instructions

1. 1. Place the watermelon, cucumber, feta, mint, and red onion in a large serving bowl.
2. 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Garden Infuzions Spearmint Infused Olive Oil, lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper.
3. 3. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss just until everything is lightly coated.
4. 4. Transfer to a serving platter or keep in the bowl and finish with chopped pistachios.

Notes

For the cleanest presentation, pat the watermelon cubes dry before assembling. If the watermelon is very sweet, keep the lime juice modest so the spearmint stays bright and balanced.

Recipe Tips

Use the coldest watermelon you can get for the best texture, and cut the cubes just before assembling so the salad stays crisp and juicy. Add the feta last so it stays in clean crumbles instead of turning soft.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this salad with grilled chicken, seared fish, or a simple mezze spread with olives, hummus, and warm pita. It also works nicely as a bright side for cookouts and potlucks.

Storage

This salad is best enjoyed right after tossing. If you need to prep ahead, keep the watermelon, cucumber, feta, and herbs separate, then combine and dress just before serving.

Variations

Swap the mint for basil, add thinly sliced red onion for a sharper edge, or fold in a handful of arugula for a peppery finish. You can also finish with toasted pistachios for extra crunch.
