This time of year, the vast majority of our meals are cooked out on the grill. It’s the easiest way for me to keep my house as cool as possible. And when it comes the sides, I like to keep them quick and simple as well. Tasty sides like that Watermelon, Feta & Rice Salad are the ideal addition to an easy summer meal.

So fresh and delicious, this salad is super quick to prepare. Plus, thanks to Tilda® Ready to Heat Rice there’s only 90 seconds of cook time. And the cooking is done in the microwave so you won’t have to heat up your kitchen at all!

The sweet and salty flavor combination is absolutely perfect with just about any main dish. I serve it with chicken, beef, pork… even burgers and hot dogs. It’s also fantastic if you are headed to a backyard barbecue and need to bring a side dish. You can easily double or triple the recipe and have enough to feed a big group. Believe me, you’ll need plenty as this is always a hit when I serve it up at my get togethers. It’s typically one of the first dishes to disappear.

When it comes to the prep, the hardest part is chopping the watermelon. So if you can cut fruit, this recipe will be easy breezy.

Just heat your Tilda® Ready to Heat Rice and allow it to cool a bit. Then cut up the watermelon, slice some red onion and cube the feta cheese. Whisk up a tasty lemon vinaigrette and then mix everything together with some arugula and mint… voila the easiest and tastiest summer side that’s ready in a flash.
