Why We LOVE This Watermelon Mint Salad:
What a surprisingly delicious, refreshing, and super healthy addition to any summer meal! My family and I have been devouring this salad ever since we first tasted it. It’s a unique and delicious treat, while also being healthy enough to serve with dinner! During the summer months I always keep watermelon in my fridge so we never have to be without this dish… it’s THAT GOOD!
Ingredients You’ll Need to Make Watermelon Mint Salad:
- Watermelon
- Fresh mint
- Feta cheese
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt
Healthy Tips & Kid-Friendly Tweaks:
- Leave the olive oil and salt optional at the table: younger kids might prefer their watermelon plain or just with feta.
- Add extra fruit: Try tossing in blueberries, cucumber slices, or halved grapes for a colorful, hydrating twist.
- Make it a portable snack: Layer ingredients in small jars or reusable containers for easy park picnics or poolside lunches.
- Use goat cheese in place of feta for a milder, creamier option some kids love!
