CUCUMBER, MELON AND WATERMELON SALAD



Cucumber, Melon and Watermelon Salad image

Watermelon and feta has been in vogue for some time (and forever in Greece). I decided to throw in some of my endless supply of cucumbers and mix it up with the melons. I cut the melon and cucumber into medium-size dice (1/2 to 3/4 inch), but you can also make this more like a salsa and cut the produce into fine dice.

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups mixed diced watermelon, honeydew and cantaloupe
2 cups diced cucumber, seeded if there are seeds

1 teaspoon lemon or lime zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 ounce feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or mild chili powder (to taste), or 1 serrano chile, minced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Toss together just before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your salad will taste. Look for cucumbers and watermelons that are deep in color and free of blemishes.
  • Cut the cucumbers and watermelon into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a mandoline, be sure to use the safety guard to protect your fingers.
  • Don't overcook the cucumbers and watermelon. They should be slightly tender, but still retain their crunch.
  • Use a light dressing. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-herb dressing will complement the flavors of the cucumbers and watermelon without overpowering them.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Cucumber and watermelon salad is a refreshing and flavorful summer side dish. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its combination of sweet and savory flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
