Description
A refreshing salad combining the sweetness of watermelon with tangy pickled onions and creamy vegan feta, perfect for summer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small seedless watermelon, chilled, rind removed, cut into 2 cm cubes (approximately 1.5 kg)
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 100 ml pickle brine (from jarred pickles)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt

- 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine sliced red onion, pickle brine, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir well and let the onions marinate for at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the onions marinate, arrange the watermelon cubes in a large serving bowl or platter.
- After marinating, drain the onions well (reserve a spoonful or two of the brine if desired for added flavor).
- Scatter the pickled onions evenly over the watermelon, then sprinkle crumbled vegan feta cheese over the salad.
- Add chopped mint and dill. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
- Drizzle a little reserved pickling brine over the salad just before serving for extra tang.
- Serve immediately, chilled, and enjoy.
Notes
- For added flavor, reserve some pickle brine to drizzle over the salad before serving.
- Feel free to experiment with other herbs to suit your taste.
- This salad is best served chilled.
