Watermelon Season Done Right

Oh, how I love watermelon season! There’s just something so spectacular about cutting into a cold watermelon on a hot summer day and taking that first sweet, juicy bite. The taste is so refreshing and satisfying!

I buy a big juicy watermelon almost every time I’m at the farmer’s market or grocery store throughout the summer.I know that if I cut it, we will eat it. I mostly cut it into cubes and keep it in a sealed container in the fridge so it’s ready to go at a cravings notice. 

We love having watermelon as a side with our meals, especially when we grill or smoke meats. It compliments the salty heat of the meat so well. Sometimes we’ll serve it as is, but I sure love kicking it up a knotch by making this watermelon feta salad with fresh mint and a balsamic glaze.

  1. My favorite watermelon feta salad.
    I did not use the balsamic glaze, which I believe would be very good. I choose to use a about 2 tablespoons of lime juice in place of the balsamic.
    Everyone at the 4th of July party loved it!!
    Thanks for the recipe.

    1. Hi, Pam! I just buy it at the grocery store by the olive oils and vinegars. But I will definitely work on a recipe for a homemade version to share!

  2. Perfect for a hot summer day! Delicious!
    I cheated and got already cut watermelon at the grocery. So good I almost ate it all!






    1. Hi, Barbara! That’s not cheating — that’s working smarter! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it so much.

  3. Went to a farmers market to get a wonderful melon – when I cut it, it was only mediocre. Made with salad the night before without the feta and by morning when I added the feta, it was much improved. Was the hit of our snacks after water aerobics! Woulda been phenomenal if the watermelon had been ripe. Try it! So refreshing for summer!

    1. Hi, Ann! Thank you so much for sharing! Even when I know what to look for in a good watermelon, it still feels like a gamble. Hopefully summer will bring you the perfect melon to make it again!

  4. I’m making this a day ahead of time, should i put the watermelon and mint in a bowel and just add the feta, balsamic, and salt before serving?

    1. Hi Maureen! I’ve never seen Feta pearls. Where do you find them? I’ve only seen mozzarella pearls and cubed Feta. Either one would work great in this recipe. Enjoy!
