Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon
- 1 medium cucumber
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.25 cup mint leaves
- 0.25 cup feta cheese (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by cutting the watermelon into bite-sized cubes until you have about 4 cups. Place the cubes into a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Peel the cucumber and slice it lengthwise. Scoop out any seeds with a spoon and cut the cucumber into half-moon slices. Add the cucumber to the mixing bowl with the watermelon.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves until you have about 1/4 cup, then add them to the bowl.
Step 4
If using, crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle it over the salad.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine the lime juice and black pepper. Whisk them together, then pour over the watermelon and cucumber mixture.
Step 6
Gently toss all ingredients together until well combined, taking care not to crush the watermelon pieces.
Step 7
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for maximum refreshment.
Step 8
Serve the salad cold as a side dish or a light snack.
