If you’ve been scrolling through social media lately, you’ve likely seen the vibrant, refreshing Watermelon, Avocado, and Feta Salad taking over everyone’s feeds. Often dubbed the “Kate Middleton Salad,” this dish has become the ultimate symbol of a chic, healthy summer lunch. But is it actually worth the hype? I decided to put it to the test.
Why This Salad Works
The beauty of this recipe lies in the contrast. You get the cooling, sweet hydration of the watermelon paired with the salty tang of the feta and the rich, creamy texture of avocado. It is simple, fast, and feels like a meal fit for royalty.
The Recipe (Metric Measurements)
Ingredients
500g–600g cubed watermelon
1 English cucumber, chopped
1 avocado, diced
75g–100g crumbled feta cheese
Small bunch of fresh mint, roughly chopped
For the Dressing
60ml extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
30ml apple cider vinegar
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
1 Prep: Place the watermelon, cucumber, avocado, feta, and mint into a large mixing bowl.
2 Whisk: In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
3 Toss & Serve: Pour the dressing over your salad. Toss everything together very gently so you don’t mash the avocado. Serve immediately while cold.
Final Verdict
Whether or not this was truly served at Kensington Palace, it is undoubtedly a winner for warm weather. It’s light, vibrant, and packed with flavor. If you’re looking for a quick lunch that doesn’t require turning on the oven, this is the one.
