Instructions

  • First, dice your watermelon into bite-sized cubes safe for a salad where each bite's just right.
  • Thinly slice the red onion and cucumber so they layer in nicely and soften just a tad under steam cues.
  • Chop your avocado into chunks but set aside till after cooking so it won’t get mushy.
  • Finely chop fresh basil, mint, and serrano pepper if you wanna that spicy edge. Mix all together except avocado and feta in your big bowl.
  • Pour everything into your pressure cooker. Set on steam mode just for 2 to 3 minutes. Let it do a slow release so it eases the pressure off naturally, locking flavors in.
  • Take it out, gently fold avocado and feta cheese into the salad. Whisk your lime juice, minced garlic, sea salt, and extra virgin olive oil into dressing and drizzle on top.
  • Toss gently to combine and serve right away or chill 10 minutes to let flavors meld.
  • Don’t stress about serrano if spice ain’t your thing, just skip it and the salad’s still dang good.
  • Add some toasted walnuts or cashews on top if you want a crunch explosion.
  • Make it a full meal by serving salad over arugula bed with some quinoa mixed in or change up fruit by swapping watermelon for strawberries or mango for some variety.

Notes

Serve fresh and enjoy the vibrant flavors of this watermelon feta salad. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Don’t add avocado chunks till ready to eat to avoid browning. Keep dressing separate if you wanna preserve that zingy fresh bite longer.
