Healthy Recipe, Watermelon-Cucumber Salad

Watermelon and cucumber are more than 90 percent water. They’re also good sources of fiber, vitamin C, and minerals. Plus, they’re delicious — especially when tossed in a tangy vinaigrette along with cooling fresh mint and chunks of feta for a creamy, salty contrast. SERVES 4. – Susan Puckett

Ingredients

• ¼ cup red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon honey
• ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt (plus more, to taste)

• 1 medium English cucumber, trimmed and diced
• 3 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
• 3 ounces feta cheese, cubed
• ¼ cup chopped fresh mint

Instructions

1.     Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper.
2.     Make the salad: In a large bowl, combine the watermelon, cucumber, scallions, and feta. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently. The salad may be refrigerated up to 2 hours at this point.
