Emily the Intern’s Watermelon & Feta Salad

Watermelon is one of the quintessential fruits of summertime. There’s nothing better than sitting outside, enjoying the sun and a juicy slice of watermelon.

However, there’s other ways to enjoy this fruit besides just a slice. Why not try it in a salad? But I’m not talking fruit salad here people.

This is a recipe for watermelon and feta salad. Who knew watermelon could taste delicious with vinegar and salt? The in-season vegetables make this salad taste fresh. I had this along with some grilled chicken and corn on the cob last night and it paired well. It’s a delicious and refreshing take on a typical summer salad and it only takes 15 minutes to prepare.

Here’s what you’ll need:

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar

1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice

Kosher salt and pepper

¼ small red onion, thinly sliced

1 1-lb. piece seedless watermelon

½ seedless cucumber, sliced into half-moons

3 cups baby arugula

3 oz. feta, crumbled (about ¾ cup)

1. Whisk together dressing

In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, lime juice and ¼ tsp. each salt and pepper. Add the onions and let sit, tossing occasionally, for 10 minutes.
