Instead of offering watermelon wedges at your next cookout, branch out with this sweet and savory watermelon salad featuring cubed watermelon, red onion, kalamata olives, mint, and feta cheese. Even with all the added flavorful ingredients, it still weighs in at only 46 calories per 1/2-cup serving.

  • 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives

Made this for friends while on. Long weekend and they loved even though I forgot to bring the olives and the parsley.

I made this for my daughter's Bridal Shower and have had to give this recipe out to half the people that attended. My daughter is allergic to mint so I sustituted basil and it was wonderful. Easy to make, surprising flavor and can be made ahead of time.
