WATERMELON CUCUMBER SALAD
All of my friends loved this tasty, refreshing watermelon salad, so I thought I would add it as my first Allrecipes recipe. It was inspired by another recipe on here, but strayed far enough from the original that I thought it deserved its own recipe. Enjoy.

CUCUMBER, MELON AND WATERMELON SALAD
Watermelon and feta has been in vogue for some time (and forever in Greece). I decided to throw in some of my endless supply of cucumbers and mix it up with the melons. I cut the melon and cucumber into medium-size dice (1/2 to 3/4 inch), but you can also make this more like a salsa and cut the produce into fine dice.

Steps:
- To cube the cucumber: Cut the ends off the cucumber. Then thinly slice off all four long sides of the cucumber so that it resembles a long rectangle. Cut into thirteen 1-inch cubes. (Reserve the remaining cucumber for another use.)
- To cube the watermelon: Cut off the ends. Cut the watermelon into 1-inch round slices. Use a cucumber cube as a guide to cut the watermelon into thirteen 1-inch cubes. (Discard the rind and reserve the remaining watermelon for another use.)
- To cube the feta: Cut into four 1-inch cubes using a cucumber cube as a guide.
- To build the salad, make the bottom layer: Arrange 3 cubes across the top of a serving platter and then 5 cubes down, alternating cucumber and watermelon cubes (you should have something that resembles the number "7"). Fill in the "7" to make a 3-by-5-inch rectangle by alternating cucumber and watermelon cubes to create a checkerboard pattern. Occasionally swap out a cube of cucumber or watermelon with a cube of feta to integrate the 4 cubes into the pattern. There should be 15 cubes. To build the top layer, repeat the checkerboard pattern with the remaining 15 cucumber and watermelon cubes making sure that all the feta cubes are covered and every bottom cucumber cube is topped with a watermelon cube and vice versa.
- Drizzle the cubed salad with the oil and then sprinkle with the pepper, basil and mint leaves.

WATERMELON, CUCUMBER AND FETA SALAD WITH MINT
Steps:
- Using a melon baller, ball entire watermelon flesh and place in large bowl. Add chopped mint, cucumber, feta, olive oil and salt. Stir gently. Serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right watermelon: Pick a ripe, juicy watermelon for the best flavor. Look for one that is heavy for its size and has a deep red color.
- Use a variety of cucumbers: For added texture and flavor, try using a combination of different types of cucumbers, such as English cucumbers, Persian cucumbers, and Kirby cucumbers.
- Don't peel the cucumbers: Leaving the skin on the cucumbers adds a nice crunch and extra nutrients to the salad.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like mint, basil, and cilantro add a refreshing flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will overwhelm the other flavors in the salad.
- Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld and makes it even more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Watermelon cucumber salad is a light, refreshing, and flavorful salad that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of sweet watermelon, crunchy cucumbers, and tangy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give watermelon cucumber salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
