Briefly

Briefly let us look at the critical steps to follow for the watermelon salad dressing. Firstly, in a small bowl mix the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lime juice, garlic, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until well blended. In a large bowl add the watermelon, cucumber, avocado, red onions, and mint leaves. Pour the salad dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl and mix generously until they are well blended. Lastly, sprinkle feta cheese and serve.

 

Before you cut the melon into cubes make sure you have washed it properly and removed the seeds. I recommend you to use a ripe watermelon so you will get the best results. Raw watermelons are not sweet and juicy, they end up ruining your salad instead. Use ripe watermelons but avoid using too ripe ones.

 

For the avocado use a ripe one too but avoid using too ripe avocados they ruin the appearance of the salad.

 

For the cucumber, wash and peel it before using it for the salad.

 

I emphasize using extra virgin olive oil since its low in cholesterol and helps reduce the risk of heart disease.
