Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe and juicy watermelon and cucumbers. Slightly overripe watermelon is ideal, as it will be sweeter and more flavorful.
  • If you don't have feta cheese on hand, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as crumbled goat cheese, queso fresco, or even mozzarella.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, simply combine the watermelon, cucumber, feta, and mint in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. When ready to serve, drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
  • For a more refreshing salad, chill the watermelon and cucumber before assembling the salad.
  • To add a bit of spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the salad dressing.
