Feta Watermelon Salad Ingredient List

Whipped feta: Creamy feta that we make in a food processor along with plain greek yogurt, olive oil and garlic.
Watermelon: use ripe watermelon and create balls with a melon baller if you can. You can also cut into cubes.
Cucumbers: use Lebanese cucumbers (mini cucumbers) for their crunchiness.
Fresh mint: you can substitute with fresh basil as well.
Pistachios: roughly chopped. Feel free to use pine nuts or roasted hazelnuts if you prefer.

How to Make Whipped Feta?

First, you’ll need a food processor. Roughly break the feta block with your hands and add it to the food processor. Add the other ingredients: plain greek yogurt, olive oil and minced garlic.
Blend for a few minutes, scraping the edges with a spatula. Be patient, it will take 4-5 minutes.
If the whipped feta is not creamy enough, add more greek yogurt and/or olive oil.

How to Make Watermelon Balls?

Watermelon balls are made with a melon baller. You can buy it online, this is the one I used in this recipe. It is really easy to use, you just have to scoop the watermelon. If you don’t have a melon baller, simply cut the watermelon into cubes.

Tips to Perfect this Recipe

Use ripe watermelon for a sweeter taste.
Make sure you blend the feta for at least 4-5 minutes to get a creamy texture.
Garnish the salad with olive oil and sprinkle black pepper.

Conservation

Whipped feta will last up to 3 days in the fridge. You can add a tablespoon of plain greek yogurt to the dip if it’s too thick. For the salad, I recommend assembling it when you’re ready to eat. Keep the salad apart from the whipped feta in the fridge.
