Juicy watermelon meets creamy feta in this refreshing Mediterranean salad with crisp cucumber and fresh mint.

# What's Needed:

→ Produce

01 - 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed (approximately 1 small watermelon)

03 - ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

# How to Make It:

01 - In a large salad bowl, combine the cubed watermelon, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and chopped mint leaves.

03 - In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey if using, salt, and black pepper until fully emulsified.
04 - Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad mixture.
05 - Toss gently to combine all ingredients without mashing the watermelon. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.

# Tips for Success:

01 -
  • The sweet and salty combo hits every craving at once
  • It comes together in literally fifteen minutes flat
  • Everyone thinks you are some kind of culinary genius
02 -
  • Watermelon releases water as it sits, so dress it right before serving or you will end up with soup at the bottom of the bowl
  • The feta can overpower everything if you use too much, start with less and add more to taste
03 -
  • Chill your serving bowl in the fridge for twenty minutes before assembling, it keeps everything crisp longer
  • Use a vegetable peeler to shave thin ribbons of cucumber instead of dicing for a more elegant presentation
