How to Make Watermelon Strawberry Cucumber Salad
This salad is beyond easy to make, which is SO nice. It is easy to whip up so you can spend more time outside, enjoying the summer sun!
First, cut your watermelon into bite-size cubes, slice the strawberries, and chop the cucumber.
In a large bowl, combine the watermelon, strawberries, cucumber, and mint leaves.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, and honey. Drizzle over the salad and gently stir until salad is coated. Season with sea salt, to taste.
Top with crumbled feta cheese and additional mint leaves, if desired.
This salad is best the day it is made, but will be fine for several hours. I personally like to serve it chilled, but it’s good at room temperature too.
If you want to make the salad in advance, you can cut up the watermelon, strawberries, and cucumber, but keep them in separate containers in the fridge so they don’t get mushy. You can also whisk together the dressing in advance. When ready to enjoy, combine everything in your large bowl and enjoy!
