With it being so hot outside, I tend to eat lighter. One of my favorites snacks is an ice cold seedless watermelon. Recently we had a BBQ and a friend brought a Spicy Watermelon and Feta Salad Recipe. This salad is the prefect pairing for my Spinach Lasagna Roll Ups!
Spicy Watermelon and Feta Salad Recipe
The Spicy Watermelon and Feta Salad Recipe was such a hit at the party! It is the perfect balance between spicy and sweet and is light and super refreshing. We are huge water melon lovers in our house and during the summer, we go through 2-3 a week. You can use freshly cut watermelon or finish off the last little bit that is in the fridge. Either way, this Spicy Watermelon and Feta Salad Recipe is the perfect summer side dish.
The kids and I planted some herbs in the spring and we have enjoyed using them in our cooking. This Spicy Watermelon and Feta Salad Recipe is great with some chopped fresh mint. It adds another depth of flavor that your mouth will love! Another reason I love this salad is because it only takes a few minutes of prep.

This is a very interesting recipe. I’ve never tried watermelon any other way than just off the rind. Thanks so much for sharing this!
This sounds delicious. I think the spicy and sweet would be a great combination.
Oh how interesting! I am not sure I would ever think to put these two together. But it may just be delicious I will have to try it!
I never thought of making a salad our of water melon, what a great idea. I bet that is so refreshing.
This looks so good and so refreshing for summer. I will definitely make this soon for myself and my kids!
I love feta and watermelon. It tastes so good together and I have mint in abundance. I always plant it all by its lonesome since it loves to take over. I need to make this ASAP.
I love a big bowl of watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries and bananas in the summer. I tried watermelon and feta before and I am on the fence. I like it in small doses lol.
This looks amazing! We had something similar in my house the other night but added shrimp as well and it was delicious! I’ll be trying out this recipe soon for sure!

Spicy and watermelon aren’t two words I thought I would hear together. I’ve only had watermelon in a fruit salad or by itself. Very interesting, I’m sending this to my sister. She loves Feta.
