Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 cup seedless watermelon, cubed
- 3 cup English cucumber, half-moon slices
- 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 cup fresh mint, chopped
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt adjust to taste
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp honey optional, for extra sweetness
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Prep the produce: cube the watermelon, slice the cucumber into half-moons, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the mint.
- Make the dressing: in a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
- Combine watermelon, cucumber, red onion, and mint in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat. Add the crumbled feta and fold carefully to keep the cubes intact.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime as needed. Serve immediately or chill for 10 minutes for extra refreshment.
Notes
For best texture, cut the watermelon into larger cubes and add feta just before serving. Swap mint with basil for a different herb note.
