Total Time:10 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
Salad
4 cups watermelon, cubed
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
Dressing
2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, gently mix the cubed watermelon, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh mint leaves until evenly distributed.
Make dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, freshly squeezed lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Toss salad: Drizzle the dressing over the watermelon mixture and gently toss to ensure everything is coated with the dressing without breaking up the watermelon cubes.
Serve: Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature for the freshest flavor and best texture.
Notes
Use chilled watermelon for a refreshing taste.
Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
For extra crunch, consider adding sliced red onions or toasted pine nuts.
To make it vegan, substitute feta cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative.
Make the salad just before serving to prevent the watermelon from releasing too much juice.
