Refreshing Watermelon Cucumber Salad

This salad is so refreshing, delicious, and easy to make. Because it is different, people like it at potlucks, and you can easily adjust it to make many portions or a few. Basically, it's half watermelon and half cucumber, with a sprinkling of mint and feta cheese. The saltiness of the cheese makes a surprisingly delicious contrast to the watermelon.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups chopped watermelon
  • 2 cups chopped cucumber
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh mint
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

Preparation:

Mix watermelon, cucumber, and most of the mint and cheese together. Sprinkle remaining mint and cheese on top. Garnish with whole mint leaves if desired.

Nutritional Information: Each of 8 servings has 3.5 grams effective carbohydrate plus 1 gram fiber, 1 gram protein, and 33 calories.
