Watermelon Cucumber Mint Salad. Excellent! The combination of watermelon, cucumber, tomatoes, feta and a light vinaigrette with basil, mint, and dill is inspired.
Watermelon Cucumber Mint Salad with Tomatoes and Feta. Light and refreshing. Surprisingly filling. Delightful!
Watermelon Cucumber Mint Salad is delightful.
This Watermelon Cucumber Mint Salad with Tomatoes and Feta is REALLY good. I don't usually use the abbreviation OMG, but this is one salad that deserves it.
This Watermelon Salad came about because I had some leftover watermelon. You see, one summer our oldest daughter and family came to visit, and when they 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.
Watch how I make it on Bob Corso's 1 on 1 program on WHSV.com.
Watermelon, terrific summertime treat!

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.
