Sweet watermelon and salty feta shouldn’t work this well. 🍉

Watermelon Feta Cucumber Salad combines juicy watermelon, crisp cucumber, creamy feta, crunchy walnuts, and fresh mint with a light drizzle of olive oil. Every bite is cool, crisp, creamy, with just the right balance of sweet and salty.

It’s easy to make, perfect for warm days, and holds up well for meal prep or a packed lunch. Have you tried watermelon with feta before?

Ingredients

4 cups watermelon, cut into bite-sized cubes
2 cucumbers, chopped
7 oz (200 g) feta cheese, crumbled or cubed
¼ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
¼ cup almonds, roughly chopped
1 small red chili, finely chopped (optional)
2 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Add the watermelon, cucumber, feta, walnuts, almonds, chili (if using), and mint to a large bowl.
Drizzle with the olive oil.
Season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Toss gently until everything is evenly coated, being careful not to break up the watermelon and feta.
Serve immediately, or chill for 15–20 minutes before serving for an extra refreshing salad.

Tips

Use chilled watermelon for the best flavor and texture.
Add the feta just before serving to keep it creamy.
Toast the walnuts and almonds for 2–3 minutes to bring out their flavor.
This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
