Ingredients
- 4 cups Watermelon
- 1 cup Feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole Lime
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the watermelon. Cut a seedless watermelon into cubes, measuring about 4 cups. Place the cubes in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Crumble 1 cup of feta cheese and add it to the bowl with the watermelon cubes.
Step 3
Gently wash and dry the fresh mint leaves. Tear or chop about 0.25 cup of mint leaves into small pieces and add them to the bowl.
Step 4
Prepare the lime dressing. Roll a lime on your kitchen counter to soften it, then cut it in half. Squeeze the juice from the lime into a small bowl.
Step 5
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the lime juice, and mix well with a fork or whisk until emulsified.
Step 6
Sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper into the lime and olive oil mixture, and stir to combine.
Step 7
Drizzle the dressing over the watermelon, feta, and mint mixture in the large mixing bowl.
Step 8
Gently toss the salad using salad tongs or two spoons, being careful not to crush the watermelon cubes.
Step 9
Once the salad is well coated with the dressing, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Step 10
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with additional mint leaves if desired.
Step 11
Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
