Watermelon Cucumber Salad with Honey Lime Dressing

This watermelon cucumber salad is so light and refreshing. It is the perfect summer dish with sweet, salty and tangy flavors that are irresistible. You will want to add this to your next BBQ menu, it is sure to be a hit!

My aunt is the one who first introduced me to watermelon and feta together, I was hooked immediately. The crisp and sweet watermelon goes so well with the salty, creamy cheese. I love to add the cucumber for crunch, the mint for some fresh flavor and the simple honey lime dressing just pulls it all together.

What You Need:

• Sweet Watermelon
• English Cucumber
• Feta (I prefer a block to cute into cubes, but you can also use crumbles)
• Fresh Mint
• Lime Juice + Zest
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Honey
• Sea Salt Flakes

How to Pick a Sweet Watermelon:

• When you pick it up, it should feel heavy for its size
• Look for the yellow spot on the watermelon, it should be a deep, creamy yellow color
• Choose a dull watermelon, not shiny

This watermelon cucumber salad is great on it’s own, but I also love to serve it with my lemon garlic herb chicken for a boost of protein! It also holds up well in the fridge, so you can enjoy it for a few days (3-4) without it getting soggy. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
