Ingredients

• 6 cups Watermelon
• 1 cup Feta cheese
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Red onion (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes (about 1 inch) and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces and add to the bowl with the watermelon.

Step 3

Peel the cucumber, slice it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Cut the cucumber into thin half-moon slices and add them to the bowl.

Step 4

Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the watermelon and cucumber mixture.

Step 5

If using red onion, thinly slice it into small slivers and add it to the salad for a bit of tangy flavor.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Drizzle the dressing evenly over the watermelon salad mixture and gently toss all ingredients to combine, being careful not to break apart the feta.

Step 8

Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl and garnish with a few extra mint leaves for presentation.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or light appetizer.
