watermelon cucumber salad

Fresh watermelon and cucumber salad with red onion, mint leaves, and jalapeño! A refreshing plant-based side for summer and beyond! Just 10 ingredients and 20 minutes required.

Minty Watermelon Cucumber Salad (Vegan)

olive oil ((if oil-free, omit))

Tbsp lime juice ((1 large, juicy lime yields ~3 Tbsp))

lime

tsp sea salt

maple syrup

watermelon,

cucumber,

red onion

mint leaves

- 1 thinly sliced jalapeño pepper ((or sub 1/4-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes))

pepitas pistachios

vegan feta crumbles

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, salt, and maple syrup.

To a large bowl, add the watermelon, cucumber, red onion, mint, and jalapeño. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss to coat. Add pepitas (or pistachios) and vegan feta (optional) and toss gently until just combined (avoid over-stirring). Taste and adjust as needed, adding more salt or vegan feta for saltiness, jalapeño for heat, lime juice for acidity, or mint for freshness.

Best eaten fresh — leftovers become soggy and mint discolors with time. Not freezer friendly.

This watermelon salad is full of sliced cucumbers, crumbled feta cheese and mint, all tossed in an easy lime dressing. A simple yet unusual summer salad that's sure to get rave reviews.

I've been waiting to make this and our 100+ temps are the perfect time. So refreshing and easy to make. Thanks for another great salad recipe, Suzy!

Made this over the weekend as a side dish for a group dinner. It was a huge hit and will add it to my summer recipes on repeat.

Absolutely fantastic. I'm 7 months pregnant in summer and this is perfect. Next time I will separate the feta and the salad and sprinkle it as much as I want (this way the feta doesn't get soggy). I also used red onion. It was great!

Great tasting salad. Next time will use a little less basil and chop both the mint and basil finer to be able to pick up on more of this flavors. Otherwise, really good.

Fantastic and simple. The best way to eat

Great salad.   I had to drain some juice as I had to make the night before but dress the day of.   So delicious.

Very tasty!  I added a bit more mint than required but that is just my preference.

I had this when on holiday at Ragdale Hall Spa in Melton Mowbray UK.
It was absolutely delicious 😋 so definitely going to be making some.

I make this often in the summer. This salad is so refreshing, healthy and light! Perfect for a hot summer day❤️

Made it for dinner tonight for a birthday party was a great hit

Very tasty, mint was not over powering.  Half watermelon was more than the picture so will cut down to 1/4.  Hard to know what a serving size was as the dish was gone with only 4 people in a sitting.

Mediterranean Watermelon Salad with Cucumber and Feta

Watermelon Salad

Watermelon Salad Recipe

¼ Cup thinly sliced red onion

½ Cup chopped mint

Italian parsley

feta cheese (optional)

pistachios

Cup olive oil

Cup red wine vinegar

Place watermelon, cucumber and onion in a large bowl. Add herbs, optional feta and pistachios.

Add olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and mix to incorporate.

Taste and adjust salt&#8230; you made need more if not adding feta.

Made this without the feta or pistachios, but it was still wonderful! It can sound like an odd combination of ingredients, but everything really worked, and we loved it! I did add just a tiny splash of lime with the dressing for a little brightness, since I was missing the feta.

I made this last weekend and everyone loved it.

See here, Sylvia, the problem with you and your site is 

Everything is so good that no one else's recipes do it for me anymore

This was amazing. Refreshing, flavorful, perfect. I love you 😂

Thank you!!!

So refreshing, tasty and colorful! The pistachios brought the whole thing together and made it stand out from other versions of this salad I’ve had before.

This recipe was awesome.  So cool and flavorful on a hot day.  Combined it as a side with the Blackened Salmon Sandwich recipe

I’ve made this salad a dozen times. Always a hit! So refreshing and the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Sometimes I skip the raw onions if I know kids will be eating it - not everyone’s preference!

A great summer salad and a big hit at a pizza party. Made it without nuts because of one person’s nut allergy and they weren’t missed. And the little bit that was left was still great the next day. Will make it again! Thanks for the recipe!
