Bring this to any backyard cookout and it’ll outshine any fare from the grill.

Watermelon Feta Salad With Mint

Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer

I couldn’t wait to recreate it!

It’s wonderfully refreshing and light, and perfect for heat-wave days like we are having now in California.

Feel free to stretch or diminish depending on your taste and the ingredients you are working with.

To experiment further, try adding a handful of pitted kalamata olives to the salad!

Gently combine all of the ingredients into a large serving bowl.

The salad will get soggy if kept overnight.
