Hi there, friends — happy JULY! How’s summer treating you so far? Let me tell you, it’s not fooling around here!
After a solid week of 100+ temperatures, next week’s nineties will get a warm welcome (pun). Waking up at 5:15AM to fit in my exercise is a tad too early for this early bird.
It’s been a challenge keeping our ice trays full considering the amounts of iced coffee and green tea I’m guzzling these days (water, too!). Luckily this recipe doesn’t require ice — just cool, crisp, juicy watermelon.
You might look at the short list of ingredients and doubt the mix of sweet fruit, earthy mint, salty feta cheese, and tangy balsamic vinegar would please your palate; in fact, they make a refreshing melody of flavors.
This simple “salad” can be easily assembled after a swim in the pool, or can be packed up for a picnic party or hydrating hiking snack.

I’ve been thinking of you on the west coast!! Stay cool!
Yikes, that’s hot! At least you don’t have 90+ humidity! :-)
I love absolutely everything about that salad. It’s going into my recipe arsenal!
Yum, that recipe looks so good! I’ve really been enjoying watermelon so far this summer. Nothing tastes better on a hot day than a cold piece!
This looks so refreshing! I love adding watermelon to salads, and the cheese is a nice touch of saltiness to compliment it.
I know, the heat has been ridiculous here lately! Although it was a high of 102 by me, surprisingly, you have it worse! Watermelon is my favorite thing to cool off with and I can imagine how well it goes with the mint and feta. Sounds so refreshing!
Holy CRAP! I’m glad I’m away from LA for the summer – what the heck is up with this heat wave! I wish London could take a cue – it’s SO COLD! Love watermelon in the summer – this chilled would be amazing — I can feel it already on my tongue :)
this is one of my favorite combos
SO glad someone else is sharing my obsession! Favorite summer combo has been watermelon & feta over arugula with a drizzle of balsamic… just so good!
