Kate Middleton’s Watermelon Salad Is Going Viral, and People Can’t Get Enough
This salad is crunchy, creamy and a whole 'lotta delicious.
Living in the Midwest, I see the best (and worst) of all the seasons. Sometimes, we’ll have a crisp, breezy 70°F summer day, and the next day I’m piling ice bags on my neck because the air conditioner can’t keep up with the 101° weather outside. (This has actually happened, and no, it’s not ideal). What’s an easy way to keep cool around here? By making summer salads. It’s true!
Now the internet is going crazy for a summer watermelon salad that Kate Middleton made popular, and for good reason. Here’s how to make her delicious salad.
What’s in Kate Middleton’s Watermelon Salad?
This salad has only a handful of key ingredients, according to @kalejunkie:
- 3 cups watermelon, cubed
- 1 English cucumber, chopped
- 1 avocado, chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 bunch mint, chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Juice of 1 lime

Why Is This Salad So Good?
This Kate Middleton watermelon salad works because the ingredients marry together so well. The creamy texture of the avocado is a wonderful complement to the crunchiness of the watermelon and cucumber.
Plus, watermelons and cucumbers are two of the most hydrating foods. That’s an incredibly important trait when it comes to summer. And avocados have tons of benefits—they’re great for lowering blood pressure and supplying healthy fats.
Finish it off with the plethora of benefits from apple cider vinegar, like fighting acne and softening skin, and you’ve got a total knockout!
Whether this is Kate Middleton’s actual favorite summer salad may be up for debate, but we’ll still enjoy it all summer long. Next, try this viral Jennifer Aniston salad recipe.
