I love kale, and I love summer… therefore this might be my perfect salad. The temps aren’t too high here just yet but with all of the crazy rain we’ve been having, the humidity makes it sweltering to say the least. This watermelon feta salad is as refreshing as it gets – cool, crisp watermelon, fennel, and cucumber are mixed with creamy avocado and feta cheese. It’s pretty much everything I love tossed into a bowl.
This is a greener version of this spicy watermelon salad that I love. The kale idea came from a salad that I regularly get at Snap Kitchen, a healthy take-away place in Austin. (If you’re in Austin, go check it out… you’ll probably see me grabbing lunch there).
Watermelon Feta Salad Serving Suggestions
This salad is a great choice for a weekday lunch. When you’re prepping it in advance, keep the avocado separate until you’re ready to serve it (otherwise it can become brown and slightly bitter). If you’re going to store it longer than a few hours, I might keep the watermelon separate too so that it doesn’t get too watery at the bottom of the bowl or container. Want to serve this salad as part of a summer dinner? It would be excellent with veggie burgers, black bean burgers, or jackfruit sandwiches.
