Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Seedless watermelon
- 4 cups Mixed greens
- 1 cup Feta cheese
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the watermelon into rounds about 1 inch thick. Use a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out as many stars as possible from each round. Set aside.
Wash and pat dry the mixed greens. Place them in a large salad bowl or divide them among individual serving plates.
Dice the cucumber into small cubes and sprinkle them over the greens.
Add the watermelon stars on top, arranging them decoratively.
Crumble the feta cheese over the entire salad and garnish with fresh mint leaves for added flavor and color.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad just before serving. Toss gently if desired, or serve as is to preserve the star shape design.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Star Salad!
