Watermelon Salad with Mint Leaves


This is such a refreshing combination of flavors.  Ice cold cubed watermelon, slices of Vidalia onions, and fresh mint dressed in a vinaigrette and topped with feta cheese. Mmm!

Paula Deen knew what she was doing when she cooked this up, y'all.  Take this dish to a potluck and surprise everyone who thought watermelon was just for dessert!

  1. Karen, it certainly is worth a try. I tried one last week that came highly recommended - watermelon and feta - which didn't work for me. This sounds better.

  6. What a fabulous combination of flavors! I love the contrast of flavors between salty feta and sweet watermelon.

    My apologies for being absent from your blog recently! I'm now starting to catch up on the great posts I've missed.

  9. I would never think to do watermellon & feta together but the sweet & salty must work really well.

  13. Watermelon goes surprisingly well with feta. I will have to try adding the Vidalias and a vinaigrette the next time I have a watermelon.
