- 1½ cups seedless English cucumber, cubed (1 medium)
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- ⅓ cup fresh mint leaves, chopped or torn
Instructions
Dressing
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lime juice. Set it aside.
Salad Assembly
- Using a large mixing bowl, add the cubed watermelon, cubed English cucumber, and mint leaves.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Carefully toss the dressing and salad together.
- Sprinkle the feta cheese over the top of the salad and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you are selecting a pre-cut watermelon, be sure to choose a good watermelon that is not too “grainy” in appearance.
- This watermelon and feta salad really should not be made too far in advance due to the excess liquid. Make just before serving.
- To make your watermelon extra fancy, instead of cutting it into cubes, you could use a melon baller to shape the watermelon pieces into spheres.
- Mix the salad as gently as possible, the watermelon and cucumber will release a lot of juice.
