Although watermelon is a favorite summer dessert in many homes, it can also be used to make a refreshing and filling salad. This is a great dish to serve before or after the fast, since watermelon is high in water and natural sugars, which can help with hydration and energy.
It is simple, colorful, and refreshing.
Yields 4 servings.
Ingredients:
6 cups cubed watermelon
3 cucumbers, diced
200 gr. feta cheese, crumbled or cubed
1 small red onion, very thinly sliced
½ cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
½ cup toasted almonds or pistachios
Dressing:
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. fresh lime or lemon juice
1 Tbsp. date syrup or honey
¼ tsp. black pepper
Pinch of salt, if needed
Directions:
Place the watermelon, cucumbers, red onion, and mint in a large serving bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime or lemon juice, date syrup or honey, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently.
Add the feta and toasted nuts just before serving and toss very lightly so the watermelon does not break apart.
Taste before adding salt, since the feta may already be salty.
Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to serve.

Summer fruits are here, and with so many sweet flavors, beautiful colors, and fresh textures, who needs to bake dessert?
God really is the Creator of the greatest foods. Of course, we have so many delicious vegetables, but when it comes to fruit, you have to admit, they are just so naturally colorful, sweet, and beautiful.
My almost-12-year-old loves creating beautiful fruit salads, and she always wows our Shabbat guests with her presentations. Since this article is all about salads, I had to include a fresh fruit salad for dessert.
This is all about using what is in season and letting the fruit shine. The sweet and tangy dressing brings everything together and makes it feel a little more special, while still keeping it light, refreshing, and healthy.
Yields 1 large salad bowl.
Ingredients:
Dressing:
Directions:
Cut up the fruit and place it in a large bowl or on a serving platter.
In a small bowl, mix the orange juice, lemon juice, and honey or maple syrup.
Pour the dressing over the fruit and toss gently.
Serve right away, or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
I HOPE these salad meals bring a little freshness, color, and ease to your table this summer. Whether you are making lunch, dinner, or something to take along for the day, a good salad can be so much more than just a side.
Use what you have, prep what you can, and let everyone build a plate they enjoy. And if you end with a bowl of summer fruit, take a moment to feel grateful for this land and the abundance it gives us.
That kind of dessert feels sweet in every way.
