Summer Salad

What is with this crazy weather? Seriously, shorts and tanks in March? All this heat has got me thinking about summer food. I love summer food. Andrew can cook some meat on the BBQ, and I can quickly whip up some veggies and a salad.

One of my favorite summer salads is a watermelon salad. Ok I know it sounds kinda weird, but it's delicious. It becomes sort of a staple in my house during the summer. A refreshing salad that we always have in the fridge, ready to eat at anytime. It's super quick and easy to make too.




What you will need: watermelon, cucumber, cheery tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, fresh mint, lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper.




Slice up the watermelon, cucumber, onion, tomatoes, and a couple of mint leaves, and toss in a bowl. There is no set rule on how much of each ingredient you put in. Eye ball it according to your taste buds.

Sprinkle on some feta, put a little bit of olive oil over top (you don't need much because watermelon is packed full of juice). Squeeze a fresh lemon over top, salt and pepper to taste, and mix everything together.




Mmm....enjoy!

  1. I made something similar last summer and fell in love! serves it over homemade thyme flat breads and it was yum!
    I know the combo sounds weird, but it's super good!
