Equipment

  • Large serving bowl
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups watermelon cubed (about 1-inch pieces)
  • 4 oz feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice from 1 lime
  • 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Instructions
 

  • Cut the watermelon into 1-inch cubes, removing seeds as you go. Pat dry with paper towels if very juicy and place in a large serving bowl.
  • Crumble the feta cheese into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl with watermelon.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Pour the dressing over the watermelon and feta, then gently toss to combine without breaking up the watermelon pieces.
  • Add the chopped mint leaves and give one final gentle stir.
  • Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours to allow flavors to meld. Stir gently before serving if made ahead.

Notes

Storage tip: This salad keeps in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and actually improves with time. For best texture, add fresh mint just before serving if making more than 4 hours ahead. Can be made dairy-free by substituting feta with toasted seeds and extra salt.
