Chilled Watermelon Cucumber Feta Salad tossed with Kalamata olives, fresh mint and a drizzle of balsamic glaze – refreshing, light and delicious!
Watermelon Cucumber Feta Salad
Watermelon Cucumber Feta SaladI love watermelon salads like this Watermelon Caprese. It’s that salty-sweet combination that’s so good and will keep you cool as a cucumber during those dog days of summer.
This is the ONLY salad I want in the summer when it’s hot outside. During those sultry summer months, I usually make my Watermelon salad with arugula, feta and red onion, but I love this new combination with cucumber, mint and olives as an alternative. It comes together very quick and is perfect as a light lunch or side dish.
Double this for a crowd, or cut it in half if you want to serve two. This makes a great side dish to grilled chicken, or seafood.

Absolutely fantastic! I didn’t have balsamic glaze, so I simmered some balsamic vinegar and that worked well. Used fresh basil instead of mint as it was what we had on hand. So good!
This is so good! I even managed to get the Balsamic reduction sauce right. Delicious summer salad!
Surprise, Surprise, surprise, had all the ingredients except the olives. The salad came together very quickly. I was looking for something different for lunch, Instead of the mint I used basil paste and in [lace of the olives I used diced red onions. Salad was delish. I will be making this salad for lunch quite often.
Today was an awfully hot day here in Vienna and this recipe was just perfectly refreshing. I was surprised how delicious the watermelon tastes with the olives and feta cheese! And so simple and quick to make. I'll definitely make it again 🙂
