Cucumber Watermelon Strawberry Salad

My Cucumber Watermelon Strawberry Salad is a refreshing and unexpected summer salad you'll want to make again and agin.  It takes classic summer fruit like strawberries and watermelon and elevates the dish with cucumber, feta or goat cheese, mint, and lime.  If you want your next fruit salad to shine, you'll have to start here.

I love adding fruit to my meals this time of year!  Whether it's a Grilled Peach Caprese Salad or a Watermelon Blueberry and Feta Salad, eating fruit for more than just a snack is so perfect for summer.  Plus, if you haven't tried adding some sort of cheese to the mix with dishes like this, you are missing out.  The salty and rich cheese pairs perfectly with sweet fruit.  Plus, in my world, you can NEVER go wrong with a little bit of feta.

My Cucumber Watermelon Strawberry Salad recipe is literally the BEST of summer in a bowl.  Refreshingly sweet watermelon, plump juicy strawberries, and crispy cucumbers are all in prime season right now and are the unexpected combo and stars of this dish.  They look so pretty together AND taste amazing too.

Don't you just want to grab that bite off the top???

Why you'll love my Cucumber Watermelon Strawberry Salad recipe...

• This Cucumber Watermelon Strawberry Salad would be tasty with just the cucumber, watermelon, and strawberry, BUT I couldn't stop there.  What really makes this salad memorable is the squeeze of lime on top, fresh mint, AND a surprise burst of your favorite soft cheese like feta or goat.  I've tried both, and it's hard for me to pick a favorite, so I decided to let you decide in the recipe.
• It's really just a handful of ingredients for a summer salad that is very memorable.
• It is easy enough for a side dish for a weekday dinner, OR a simple dish to take to a summer potluck.  Can you just imagine this at a 4th of July party???  I think it would be perfection.  Either way, I promise it will be a hit.
• It's so fresh and colorful.
• Kids and adults love it.
