Admittedly when I first found out watermelon and feta was a thing, I was a tad confused. But in all honesty after trying it out I’ve completely fallen in love. Here’s my take on the infamous watermelon and feta salad! Cubed of course, just because I’m extra. Follow me…
Watermelon and Feta Salad
The sweetness from the watermelon in this dish compliments the salty and tangy flavours from the feta so beautifully. This, with a punch of citrus from the lime and the silky textures of the oil brings something quite heavenly to the table.
Watermelon Feta Salad with Mint
When you add mint to the table, you’ve got a whole different thing going on. The mint, and just a little bit of it, will add a gorgeous fresh blast to the salad which will balance the sweet, salty and acidic flavours. Fresh mint every time and just 2 large leaves is all you’ll need. You don’t want to overpower the dish.
Cubed Watermelon Salad
Now here’s where things get extra 🤣 You could go for the standard watermelon chunks and crumbled feta, but how darn cute are the watermelon feta salad squares!? I usually make this salad as a starter, so it’s nice to serve it a little funky. To start, all you need to do is slice a disk in the watermelon the same width as a block of feta.

Watermelon and Feta Salad Toppings
When it comes to what to serve with this salad, I usually add a dressing of lime juice and extra virgin olive oil, just to keep it simple. However, if you’re looking for an extra little ‘something’, here’s some optional toppings I have personally added and loved:
