Watermelon cucumber

With temperatures in the high 90’s Sunday I wanted a refreshing and cold side dish to a chicken dinner. This was my first time mixing watermelon into a salad and it was the perfect, unexpected addition. I scaled back the olive oil and the red wine vinegar and it was just the right amount. Feta ( or any cheese honestly) just makes everything better.

Watermelon Cucumber Salad
via country living

ingredients:
6 cups watermelon, diced
3 persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
3 tbsp olive oil (I used 1.5 tbsp)
3 tbsp red wine vinegar (I used 1.5 tbsp)
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. pepper (I left this out)
1/4 c. crumbled feta
1/4 c. mint leaves, thinly sliced

directions:
In a large bowl, combine watermelon, cucumbers, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt & pepper and toss to combine. Toss with crumbled feta and fresh mint.

Enjoy!
