Ingredients

  • 5 cups watermelon cubed
  • 2 cups mini cucumbers sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 cup feta crumbles + more for garnish
  • 1/4 cup sliced fresh mint + more for garnish

Dressing:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp fresh time juice
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes and slice the mini cucumbers into thin rounds. Add both to a large mixing bowl.
  • Thinly slice the mint and add it to the bowl with the watermelon and cucumbers.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, fresh lime juice, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
  • Pour the dressing over the watermelon mixture, starting with a little at a time to avoid overdressing, then gently toss until evenly coated.
  • Sprinkle the feta crumbles over the top and lightly toss again.
  • Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or chill for 10–15 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra mint and feta if desired.

Notes

  • Don’t overdress: watermelon releases juice quickly so too much dressing = watery salad.
  • Add feta just before serving: keeps it from getting soggy.
  • Use cold ingredients: this salad is best served chilled.
  • Cut evenly: uniform pieces = better texture and presentation (important for content too).
