Watermelon Feta Mint Salad | The Picky Eater

There’s nothing better on a hot day than a cold, crunchy, super hydrating salad. I love how this recipe checks all the boxes – it’s bright and refreshing but also has depth from the red onion, arugula, and jalapeño. The maple lime dressing pulls everything together with a little tang and just the right amount of sweetness.

As a nutritionist and mom, I love that this salad is naturally packed with fiber, and full of vitamins and nutrients. Plus my kids actually enjoy eating it! It’s a fun way to get more fruit and veggies in without any complaints.

The best part? It takes just 15 minutes to throw together. I’ll often prep the ingredients earlier in the day and toss everything together right before serving. It’s perfect as a side or even a light lunch when I want something satisfying but not too heavy. And since it’s naturally gluten-free and easily made dairy-free, it works for just about everyone!
