Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon
- 1 cup vegan feta cheese
- 1 medium cucumber
- 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole lime
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cut the watermelon into cubes of approximately 1-inch size, ensuring the seeds are removed. Place the cubes into a large salad bowl.
Step 2
Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on preference. Add the cucumber slices to the bowl with the watermelon.
Step 3
Crumble or cube the vegan feta cheese and gently mix it with the watermelon and cucumber.
Step 4
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely, reserving a few whole leaves for garnishing. Add the chopped mint to the salad mixture.
Step 5
Zest the lime and then juice it. Pour the lime juice and zest in a small bowl, and whisk in the olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.
Step 6
Drizzle the lime-olive oil dressing over the salad, and gently toss all ingredients together until they are evenly coated.
Step 7
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Step 8
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or platter, garnish with the reserved mint leaves, and serve immediately for maximum freshness.
