We spent all day playing outside and the last thing I wanted for dinner was a hot meal. I was in the mood for something light, fresh and tasty. My husband suggested the Watermelon Feta salad recipe he found at our local Publix grocery store – it was fantastic!
This salad is the perfect summertime dish. Be sure and check out the Publix site for the pairing suggestions featuring a great looking steak!
Recipe: Watermelon Feta Salad
Ingredients
- 4oz Feta cheese
- 2lbs Watermelon slices (or quarters)
- 8oz Grape tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoon White balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 3 cups Arugula greens (about 5oz)
- 1 cup sliced red onions
Instructions
- Cut feta and watermelon into bite-sized pieces
- Cut tomatoes in half
- Whisk oil, vinegar and salt to blend and set aside
- Place arugula, onions and tomatoes in salad bowl
- Add vinaigrette, toss to coat
- Add cheese and melon
- Serve
We substituted vidalia onions for the red onion, since we already had it on hand. This salad would also be great with Gorgonzola cheese too!

This was our first time having it too. It has a very light, refreshing flavor. Let me know if you try this salad – we loved it!

I’m not usually one that likes to mix fruit and veggies, but this sounds so good. Pinned it too.
Carrie with Children
Thanks Connie! Hope you enjoy it!

I love mixing salad and fruits. I have never added watermelons to my salads. Great idea
Carrie with Children
This was the first time we have added watermelon to a salad too! Very fresh taste!

Two of my fave things…watermelon & feta. Never thought of putting them together though. Going to have to try this.
Carrie with Children
We were a little unsure about pairing them together at first, but they work really well together. I loved this salad!
Samantha @ A Little Simplicity
Oh Yum!! This looks so good!! With summer time here this will be a must!
Carrie with Children
Samantha – It’s a great summertime salad – nice and light! Enjoy!

This looks like a great alternative to the standard strawberry salad. I think the only thing I’d have to cut out is the onions and my picky eaters would eat it all!
Carrie with Children
Yes – this would be a great alternative! I love that your picky eaters will eat the feta – it’s my favorite!
Rachel @Following In My Shoes
I adore feta, adore watermelon, adore white balsamic … I am definitely making this recipe SOON!
Carrie with Children
Well, Rachel – This is the salad for you! I hope you enjoy it!
