Refreshing Cucumber Strawberry Salad

A vibrant and refreshing salad made with juicy watermelon, sweet strawberries, and crisp cucumbers, drizzled with a tangy lime dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups watermelon, diced
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup strawberries, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Start by washing all your fruits and veggies. Clean ingredients make for better salads! Dice the watermelon, cucumber, and halve the strawberries. Don’t forget to thinly slice your red onion.
  2. Mix the veggies and fruits: In a large bowl, combine the diced watermelon, cucumber, halved strawberries, and red onion. This playful mix is just waiting to be tossed!
  3. Prepare the dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Taste it for seasoning—a little more salt or pepper can make the world of difference.
  4. Combine everything: Drizzle the dressing over the fruit and veggie mixture. Toss gently to ensure everything gets coated without mashing the fruit. This is key for texture!
  5. Add the feta and mint: Finally, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped mint over the top. Gently toss again. You want those bright pops of flavor to shine through without losing the salad’s freshness.
  6. Chill and serve: Let the salad sit for about 15 minutes. This allows all the flavors to meld together. Serve it fresh or store it in the fridge for later.

Notes

Feel free to make it vegan by omitting feta or using vegan cheese crumbles.
