I tried this Weight Watchers 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! Watermelon is zero on the Weight Watchers Simplified Plan!

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 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!

WHAT IS Weight Watchers?
When starting a new weight loss program or diet change, consult a doctor or physician about personal health concerns. It is a good idea to have blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before and during being on the WW program.
New to Weight Watchers?? Also known as WW, a weight loss program uses points assigned to food to track and lose weight. When you sign up, you take an assessment that will assign you a point value to eat daily and a weekly allowance. You can carry over 4 points from the day into your weekly budget, which is handy when you need more points.
I have been on Weight Watchers since 2011. They have had Points Plus Value, WW Smartpoints, Blue Plan, Green Plan, Purple Plan, WW Personal Points, and now Weight Watchers Points. The new Weight Watchers Simplified plan is the new program launched in November 2022, similar to previous plans like WW Smartpoints, with some color plans. ( You can see the Weight Watchers Zero Point Foods 2023 -> here)
No matter the WW plan, it works to help you learn healthy eating habits. I have hit my lifetime goal weight several times but stopped following the plan and tracking, so the weight does creep back on.
Right now, you can head on over -> here and sign up for Weight Watchers for $5 a month for the first three months.
Watermelon Salad With Feta Recipe Ingredients:

How To Make Watermelon Salad With Feta:
Start by cutting up your watermelon.
Next, chop up your mint leaves, we peel them off the stems first. Fresh mint works best for this recipe, but in a pinch, you could use dried mint
In a bowl, place in your watermelon and sprinkle over your mint and salt.
Stir the combination 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!!!
How To store Watermelon Salad
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. It does not seem to last too long; I try to take off any remaining cheese crumbles and then top it with fresh feta crumbles when having leftovers.

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!
