Watermelon Mint Aged Goat Cheese is the perfect Summer salad that balances sweet and salty flavors.
Watermelon Mint Aged Goat Cheese Salad - sweet and salty, this summer salad is refreshing and has just 3 ingredientsEvery summer we look forward to all the watermelon that pops up in the supermarket. Although we mostly eat it as sliced wedges or in Watermelon Mint Freezes, I start to look for more interesting ways to enjoy this juicy, crunchy fruit that’s full of vitamin A and vitamin C as the summer goes on. This sweet and savory Watermelon Mint Aged Goat Cheese Salad takes full advantage of summer watermelon and all the fresh mint that’s overflowing in my patio containers.

This watermelon salad is similar to the Greek Watermelon Feta Salad I made a few summers ago except I used Sartori’s Extra Aged Goat Cheese. Not at all like creamy goat cheese you typically find these days, aged goat cheese is a semi-hard cheese that’s a little tangy and full of flavor. Whereas feta cheese is salty and briny, aged goat cheese has a more complex flavor profile. I love both versions – they both compliment watermelon nicely in a salad.

    Gorgeous! I’ve made a similar recipe with feta cheese but have not tried it with aged goat cheese and lime. Can’t wait to experiment! I love watermelon this time of year 🙂

    I can eat this salad the whole summer season. Wish the watermelon we have over here could have been juicier and sweeter.

      Mint and watermelon do have a natural affinity. I love just blending watermelon and mint together into a frozen drink for my kids during the summer. This salad adds a little saltiness to the watermelon-mint combination.
