Watermelon Cucumber Salad!!!

In the summer, I like to use all of the things I have on hand as much as possible in my recipes!   I don't grow a huge garden, but I do like to grow all types of herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers!

 I have had a really good year for cucumbers, so I am trying all sorts of ways to use them and this was a great recipe for them.  I have also been over taken by Kentucky Spearmint so I am looking for ways to use some of it also!

I must admit, I am not a big fan of watermelon and really never have been, except when I was pregnant.  That was the one time I craved watermelon and thought it tasted so good...until it didn't if you know what I mean!!!    I can eat most anything though so it's something I will eat.

 However, I was so surprised by how much I loved this salad!!!    It was fantastic!  So if you like watermelon normally, this is one you will probably love!!!  My picky eater even loved it!!!

It's a great mix of all sorts of yummy things and they all complement each other in a really yummy way!!!   The feta cheese adds a little saltiness to it and makes it so good!!!  The fresh mint adds a really fresh taste to it all and the balsamic dressing just ties it all together!!!  This is also very light and healthy!!!    

Here is what you will need:

4 cups watermelon, cubed and seeded

2 medium cucumbers, diced in bite size pieces, seeds removed

2 cups strawberries, sliced

1 Tbs. fresh mint, chopped

1/2 cup Feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 tsp. salt

juice of 1 lemon

1/3 cup Balsamic Dressing of your choice

Place the watermelon, cucumber, strawberries, mint and Feta cheese in a large bowl.

Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with the lemon juice.

Power the Balsamic Dressing over all and toss lightly with a large spoon!  

I like to sprinkle a little more Feta cheese on top and garnish with a sprig of mint!!
