Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 c watermelon, cubed (seedless is easiest)
1 large cucumber, seeded and diced
1/2 red onion, minced
1/4 c crumbled feta cheese
8 pitted kalamata olives, quartered (optional)
FOR THE DRESSING:
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp lime juice
zest of one lemon and one lime (optional)
1/2 c chopped fresh parsley
1/3 c fat-free greek or regular yogurt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Mix dressing ingredients in a small bowl and refrigerate.
  • 2. Toss all other ingredients together. Keep chilled till ready to serve, then gently fold in dressing.
  • 3. I love how the tangy savory flavor plays off the sweetness of the melon. Feel free to substitute olives with raisins or fresh blueberries--whatever will make your family eat salad! Enjoy!

I'm not sure this salad is sweet enough. I'm going to try adding some honey or brown sugar next time.
