I tried this Watermelon Salad With Feta Recipe last year at a cookout and loved it! Now previously I never would have thought these flavors would come together to make a tasty light summer dessert but it works! As an added bonus it works out to be a low Weight Watchers aka WW Freeestly Smartpoint recipe as well! (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

I love that our farm stand is now getting in fresh watermelons! This is one fruit that everyone in my family loves to eat and to enjoy. I try to find ways to change it up and this is one of my go tos when we get invited to potlucks or to family BBQs! So quick to assemble and the feta cheese you can get at great prices in the deli and the container seems to last forever.

Watermelon Salad With Feta Recipe Ingredients:
- 3 cups watermelon
- 1/4 Cup of Feta Cheese
- 1/2 Bushel Mint chopped
- Sprinkle Fresh Ground Sea Salt
- Drizzle Of Balsamic Vinegar
How To Make Watermelon Salad With Feta:
Start out by cutting up your watermelon.
Now a good knife is a must-have in any kitchen! I picked up this Aicok Knife (HERE)for under $10, but it’s keeps going out of stock often on Amazon due to how awesome it is. There are a lot of other top rated knives on Amazon at a great price. I am not the best at picking out Knives so when I can read reviews to find a good quality knife it’s a win for me.

Next, chop up your mint leaves we peeled them off the stems first.
In a bowl place in your watermelon and sprinkle over your mint and salt.
Give the combination a stir and then sprinkle over with feta cheese.
Next, slowly drizzle over your balsamic vinegar.
Allow to chill for 30 minutes and then serve and enjoy!!!
Now you can use a reduced fat feta cheese to bring down the points on this but my store didn’t have any. I was expecting the points to come out way higher when I first plugged this in so I am excited to see this!

Hello Jenny. This recipe is Simply Delish! I am not a big fan of Feta, but once in a while & it works well with these sweet flavors. I would add Crumbled Boursin for a substitute as well. I had a Grilled Peach & Watermelon Salad at a place called ” Clean Plate” in Providence, RI , & it had Baby Spinach, & other greens-Freesi? (can’t spell it), Red Lettuce, Romaine & Mint w/Reduced Balsamic Vinegar! I tell you, I order it every time I go there now. as well as their Chicken Breast & Waffles & the Heart Attack Burger I call it, lol. ( P. Butter & Bacon Burger) & they are Heavenly as well as the salad. I make them all at home now ! I hope you will try them too-but only in moderation! I don’t wan’t you top get sick. Enjoy!
