Watermelon Greek Salad

This refreshing salad is a delightful blend of sweet, salty, and tangy flavors. The juicy sweetness of ripe watermelon pairs perfectly with the briny Kalamata olives and creamy feta cheese. This dish is a summer favorite, bursting with vibrant colors and balanced flavors.

Ingredients

• 3 cups watermelon, cut into cubes
• 1 bell pepper (yellow or orange), medium dice
• 1/2 European cucumber, medium dice
• 1/2 small red onion, medium dice
• 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
• 4 oz feta cheese crumbles

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the watermelon, bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, and Kalamata olives.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, mint, oregano, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
3. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine.
4. Serve salad on a serving bowl or in individual plates,
5. Top the salad with feta cheese crumbles.
6. Serve chilled.

Notes

Wine Pairing:

Pair this salad with a light and crisp white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or a dry Rosé. The citrusy notes in the Sauvignon Blanc will complement the dressing, while the wine’s acidity will balance the sweetness of the watermelon and richness of the feta. Alternatively, a dry Rosé with its fruity yet crisp profile will enhance the freshness of the dish without overpowering it.
