Savory Summer Watermelon Salad

Watermelon season is here and this is my favorite salad for the summer (Thank you Love & Lemons). Give it a try, the combination of flavors is amazing. Remember to always use organic ingredients when possible.

Ingredients

Dressing

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lime juice

½ garlic clove, minced

¼ teaspoon sea salt

For the Salad

5 cups cubed watermelon

1 heaping cup diced English cucumber

¼ cup thinly sliced red onions

⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

1 avocado, cubed

⅓ cup torn mint or basil leaves

½ jalapeño or serrano pepper, thinly sliced, optional

Sea salt

Instructions

Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and salt.

Arrange the watermelon, cucumber, and red onions on a large plate or platter. Drizzle with half the dressing. Top with the feta, avocado, mint, and serrano pepper, if using, and drizzle with remaining dressing. Season to taste and serve.
