Ingredients
3 cups watermelon, cubed
1 cucumber, sliced
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes and slice the cucumber.
In a large bowl, combine watermelon, cucumber, and crumbled feta cheese.
Add chopped fresh mint leaves.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad.
Gently toss everything together until combined.
Serve immediately while cold and refreshing.
Notes
Use a ripe, seedless watermelon for best flavor.
Add red onion for a sharper taste.
Include toasted almonds or pistachios for extra crunch.
Drizzle balsamic glaze for a sweet-tangy twist.
Best served fresh as watermelon releases juice over time.
