This refreshing salad combines juicy watermelon, crisp cucumber, and creamy avocado with tangy feta cheese and zesty red onion. Fresh mint leaves add a bright, herbaceous note, while jalapeño provides a subtle kick of heat. Dressed with a simple blend of olive oil, lime juice, garlic, salt, and chili pepper, this salad is a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors.
The refreshing Watermelon Salad with Feta pairs well with a crisp white wine like Pinot Grigio. The wine's light body and high acidity complement the juicy watermelon and cucumber, while its subtle fruit notes enhance the salad's flavors. Alternatively, a light-bodied, fruit-forward red wine like Nero d'Avola can provide a nice contrast to the salty feta and the slight heat from the jalapeño.
