Watermelon Salad With Feta
This light, refreshing watermelon salad recipe is tossed with feta, avocado, and edamame in a lime dressing. Perfect for hot summer days!
Prep: 15 minutes
Total: 15 minutes
Servings: 4 –6 servings
Ingredients
- ½ red onion thinly sliced
- 4 cups watermelon 1-inch-diced
- 1 cup shelled edamame
- ½ cup lightly packed fresh mint leaves chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 medium ripe avocado peeled, pitted and cut into large dice
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Place the red onion in a bowl and cover with water. Let soak while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper.
- To a large serving bowl, add the watermelon, edamame, mint, and drained red onion.
- Pour dressing over the watermelon mixture and toss to coat.
- Add the avocado and feta and gently toss to incorporate. Refrigerate until ready to serve. The salad will likely have some excess liquid at the bottom from the watermelon, so I recommend serving it with a slotted spoon.
Notes
- TO STORE: This watermelon feta salad is best enjoyed within a few hours after it is dressed and assembled.
- MAKE-AHEAD: Watermelon salad can be prepared up to 4 hours in advance. Add the avocado and feta just before serving.
