“Summer of Salads” continues this week with a spin on a classic, the Watermelon Feta Salad. We all have our favorite summer salad. One that includes fresh seasonal produce at its peek, ushering in years of summertime memories of picnics and family reunions. For some, it’s a caprese salad of some sort. For others it’s a slaw or potato salad.
However, my nostalgic summer salad of choice is a Watermelon Feta Salad variation. A salad I’ve been making every summer since my wedding over sixteen years ago. Every time I make this salad, I’m reminded of that first newlywed summer in Oklahoma, sitting at the kitchen table in our first rental house, and my very first potted tomato plant. All happy associations.
This particular Watermelon Feta Salad with Golden Tomatoes and Tarragon, combines the crisp sweetness of ripe juicy watermelon with tangy yellow tomato wedges, aromatic tarragon and zingy red onion. The salty note of the feta accentuates these farm-fresh ingredients in the best possible way. This quick Watermelon Feta Salad with Golden Tomatoes and Tarragon is then tossed with a light sherry vinaigrette and it’s ready to serve at all your summer gatherings.
I could eat Watermelon Feta Salad with Golden Tomatoes and Tarragon every single day in the summer, and smile while I’m doing so, without exception. It pairs perfectly with BBQ Chicken, corn on the cob, and fresh berry crumble. It also goes quite nicely with Garlic Lime Salmon.
We’re halfway through our Summer of Salads. I encourage you to make the most of your farmers’ markets and roadside produce stands this season. The very best flavors come from the freshest produce! Click here to see all our Summertime Salads. Share This Recipe With Friends!
