Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon (seedless, cubed)
- 1 1/2 cups cucumber (peeled and sliced)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (chopped)
Dressing
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the seedless watermelon cubes, peeled and sliced cucumber, and chopped fresh mint leaves.
- Add Dressing: Drizzle the olive oil and fresh lime juice over the fruit and herbs, then gently toss the mixture to evenly coat all ingredients.
- Incorporate Feta: Add the crumbled feta cheese into the bowl and toss lightly once more, taking care not to break the cheese chunks too much.
- Season and Serve: Season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
Notes
- For an extra flavor kick, sprinkle chili flakes or drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
- Using English cucumber offers a more delicate crunch and fewer seeds for better texture.
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh the same day to maintain crispness and flavor.
