Ingredients

4 cups cubed watermelon

1 cucumber, diced

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Juice of 1 lime

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by cutting the watermelon into cubes and place them in a large bowl.
  2. Dice the cucumber and thinly slice the red onion, then add them to the bowl with the watermelon.
  3. Chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the mixture.
  4. Crumble the feta cheese on top.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  6. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes for a colder, refreshing taste.

Notes

  • For added sweetness, try drizzling a little honey or agave syrup over the salad.
  • For a variation, swap the feta with goat cheese or ricotta.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge. Toss before serving again.
  • To make it spicier, add a few slices of jalapeño.
