Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the romaine lettuce, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes. Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and halve the cherry tomatoes. Add them to the salad bowl.

Step 3

Thinly slice the red onion and the fresh jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat if desired). Add both to the salad bowl.

Step 4

Add the cubed watermelon and crumbled feta cheese into the salad bowl for a balance of sweet and salty flavors.

Step 5

Roughly chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad for a refreshing herbal note.

Step 6

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to create the dressing.

Step 7

Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients without crushing them.

Step 8

Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 10 minutes if desired, to further enhance the cooling effect.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, spicy, and refreshing Fire Ice Salad.
