Description
A vibrant, no-cook salad combining juicy watermelon, sweet strawberries, crisp cucumber, tangy feta cheese, and aromatic mint. This 5-ingredient dish is the perfect balance of sweetness, crunch, and saltiness, ideal for summer meals or gatherings.
Ingredients
½ medium watermelon, cubed
½ lb strawberries, sliced
1 medium cucumber, quartered and sliced
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
10–15 fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
Instructions
Remove the top and bottom of the watermelon, then cut into cubes. Use a melon baller to remove any remaining rind.
Hull and slice the strawberries.
Quarter and thinly slice the cucumber to maximize hydration.
Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces.
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Top with a handful of chopped mint and gently toss.
Serve chilled or at room temperature, ideally within 30 minutes for optimal texture.
Notes
Use seedless watermelon for cleaner cubes.
Add a splash of halal-certified lemon juice if extra acidity is desired.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days (best same day) in the refrigerator.
