Quick & Refreshing Watermelon Mint Salad
Cool, crisp, and wildly refreshing, this Watermelon & Mint Salad is the ultimate summer side dish—especially on hot days when you want something hydrating and light. The sweet juiciness of fresh watermelon pairs beautifully with the cooling sensation of mint and the bright tang of fresh lime juice. Optionally, crumbled feta adds a salty contrast that elevates the dish into a sweet-savory flavor bomb. This salad is quick to throw together, but it always gets compliments at potlucks, BBQs, or as a simple starter to a grilled meal. It’s healthy, eye-catching, and proof that sometimes the simplest combinations are the most satisfying.
