Juicy watermelon meets creamy goat cheese and sharp Spanish onion in this fresh, vibrant salad. Cool cucumber and peppery rocket balance the sweetness, while mint and lemon lift everything with a clean, bright finish. Finished with a light drizzle of balsamic glaze, it’s the kind of effortless summer dish that feels both refreshing and indulgent.
Serves: 4
Prep time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
1⅓ cups English cucumber, thinly sliced
1⅓ cups goat cheese, crumbled
4 cups rocket leaves
½ cup mint leaves, finely chopped
⅔ cup red onion, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons lemon juice
Balsamic glaze, to drizzle
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Method
Arrange the watermelon, cucumber, rocket and Spanish onion in a large serving bowl or platter.
Scatter over the crumbled goat cheese and chopped mint.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Finish with a light drizzle of balsamic glaze just before serving.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Tip: Serve chilled for maximum freshness, and add the balsamic glaze sparingly so it doesn’t overpower the watermelon.
