When the heat is on, nothing hits the spot quite like a watermelon feta salad. It’s a bright, juicy mix of sweet watermelon cubes, tangy feta cheese, fresh mint, and a splash of zesty lime—all combining to create a refreshing, vibrant salad that’s perfect for summer barbecues, picnics, or a quick weekday side.

The sweetness of watermelon balances the salty creaminess of feta, while mint adds a cooling note and lime juice ties everything together with a fresh zing. Plus, it’s naturally gluten-free and vegan-friendly if you swap the cheese for a plant-based option.
