Watermelon- Cucumber Salad with Feta and Mint


Did you know that watermelon is loaded with iron? What a delicious way to make sure that your iron levels remain high so that you have tons of energy for fun summer activities!
This salad is refreshing and full of flavor. I used an orange infused olive oil, but feel free to use a plain olive oil as well. Have fun experimenting with different oil or vinegar flavors!

serves 8 ( 4 points +)

Salad:

  • 8 c. cubed, seedless watermelon
  • 1 English cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 c. sliced green onion
  • 1/4 c. chopped, fresh mint
  • 1/2 c. reduced fat feta cheese, crumbled


Dressing:

  • 1/4 c. orange infused olive oil ( or plain)
  • 1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
  • 1 T. honey
  • salt and pepper to taste


Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together dressing ingredients and drizzle over salad. Toss to coat. Chill until serving.
