Ingredients
- 4 cups (diced) Watermelon
- 2 medium (sliced) Cucumber
- 0.5 thinly sliced Red onion
- 1 cup (crumbled) Almond milk feta
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by chopping the watermelon into bite-sized cubes. You will need about 4 cups of diced watermelon. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds. If desired, you can halve the slices for easier bites. Add the cucumber slices to the watermelon.
Step 3
Thinly slice the red onion into half-moons and add them to the bowl with watermelon and cucumber.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended to form the dressing.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the watermelon, cucumber, and onion mixture. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are coated with the dressing.
Step 6
Add the crumbled almond milk feta and the chopped mint leaves to the salad. Toss lightly just to combine, taking care not to crush the feta.
Step 7
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual plates. Garnish with a few whole mint leaves for presentation if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to one hour before serving to let the flavors meld together. Enjoy!
