Watermelon Salad
Hi. It’s Lois in the kitchen at Recipe Idea Shop, talking about Watermelon Cucumber Mint Salad. OMG. I don’t usually use the abbreviation OMG, but this is one salad that deserves it. This Watermelon Cucumber Mint Salad with Tomatoes and Feta is REALLY good. Watch how I make it on Bob Corso’s 1 on 1 program on WHSV.com.
This Watermelon Salad came about because I had some leftover watermelon.
You see, our oldest daughter and family went home, and there we were, left with half a watermelon. We had it in a fruit salad; I ate slices of it at a few meals, and I still had two cups of diced watermelon left! So I looked up Watermelon Feta salads and decided to combine the ingredients of several that I found. Simple. Making it took less than 15 minutes.
Watermelon, terrific summertime treat!

Watermelon Cucumber Mint Salad with Tomatoes and Feta
Crunchy, refreshing salad that is a little bit salty and a little bit sweet. The BEST Watermelon Mint Salad.
Ingredients
Salad
- 4 cups watermelon (cut in bite-sized pieces)
- 1-2 large English cucumber (Cut in bite-sized pieces. English cucumbers are less bitter. You want to end up with about equal amounts of cucumbers, watermelon and tomatoes.)
- 4 cups Italian Roma tomatoes (about 3 tomatoes, diced)
- 1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds
Dressing
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill weed chopped
Garnish/Topping
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta goat cheese
Instructions
Salad
- In a large bowl, combine the watermelon, cucumbers, tomatoes, and sliced almonds.
Dressing
Combine the olive oil, vinegar, salt, mint, dill weed, basil and salt in a small jar and shake vigorously to combine and emulsify the vinaigrette dressing.
- Pour this dressing over the watermelon mixture and gently stir to combine.
To Serve
If you have the time, refrigerate for one hour or more to set the flavors.
Top with feta cheese and serve immediately.

Can’t wait to try this. I had something similar at a friend’s house last summer and couldn’t believe how refreshing it was for such an unlikely combination of ingredients.
As Gomer Pyle would say, “It’s gonna be GUUUUD!”
