Step 1
Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes, aiming for roughly 1-inch pieces. Transfer the cubes to a large salad bowl.

Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad for a burst of freshness.

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and gently toss everything together to combine, being careful not to crush the watermelon.
