Watermelon Feta Salad
Yield: 4-5 side dishes
Ingredients
Mixed greens of choice
2 Cups cubed watermelon
1 diced cucumber
1 Cup fresh mint
1/3 Cup feta cheese
1 large avocado cubed
Salad Dressing
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar**
1 1/2 tbsp whole grain dijon mustard***
1/2-1 tbsp maple syrup
Notes
*You can really make as little or as much salad as you want depending upon how many greens you add so it's totally up to you how much you want.
**Rice wine vinegar can be subbed for white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar as well.
***Regular dijon mustard also works for this recipe but I wouldn't recommend regular mustard.
You can choose how much dressing you add to your salad based on your personal liking. I like just a light dressing coating the greens that isn't overpowering the rest of the salad, so I usually have some dressing left over from this recipe that I will use the next day.
Method
Chop watermelon, cucumber, avocado, and mint.
Prep dressing by adding all ingredients to a mason jar and shaking. Add more sweetener or vinegar to your desired flavour. (But remember it's just a background flavour)
Toss greens and mint with dressing and put on a large serving plate or salad bowl if you prefer. (I love putting my salads on large plates as it's easier to load it with toppings, but do whatever you would like!
Top with watermelon, avocado, and cucumber.
Crumble feta on top. (The amount of feta is purely based upon how much or how little you want!)
