WATERMELON, CUCUMBER AND FETA SALAD

This cucumber, watermelon, and feta salad are so easy to make, tasty, and cooling. It's the perfect salad for summertime barbecues, picnics, and events.

Did everyone enjoy an incredible Fourth of July? The long weekend was spent with the family, eating a lot of food, watching three fireworks shows from home, and working on my Lisbon City Guide, which is now finished. I also viewed many of my friends' Fourth of July celebrations this year via Snapchat. When giving you the impression that you are there celebrating, it's considerably better than Facebook. This results in some genuine laugh-out-loud moments.

Pancakes, burger bowls, guacamole, ribs, cucumber, watermelon, and feta salad were all on the menu yesterday. It was a feast! I also drank this incredible-tasting passion fruit rum, which I must use in a recipe (note to self). However, this salad was also fantastic; Dad, the man who dislikes salads, loved it. I didn't have the heart to inform him that cucumbers and herbs are, in fact, green because he claimed he enjoyed it because it wasn't green (ha!).

This salad of cucumber, watermelon, and feta screams summers, beaches, barbecues, and picnics more than any other. It's also relatively easy to make. Once cubed, one thick slice of the organic watermelon I purchased filled my entire salad bowl. It was incredibly juicy. I chopped the remaining ingredients and cut another slice for a snack. Similar to having a glass of wine while cooking with wine.

Just peel, slice, and quarter two cucumbers after finishing the watermelon, then chop some feta. I maintain around the exact sizes for the watermelon, cucumber, and feta cubes. It fulfills my type-A nature! Although my mother doesn't like mint much, she enjoyed it in this salad. It beautifully balanced the flavors, and I cut it extra little for her.

Pour the dressing over the watermelon, cucumber, and mint after you've combined everything. Stir to combine. The longer you whisk the feta, the more it will crumble, so leave it out until the end. Of course, you can choose feta crumbles if you are okay with feta cubes. I would use half as much if you did.

Enjoy!
