- 4 cups watermelon, diced
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients by washing all the fresh produce. Slice the watermelon in half, then cut into cubes, removing any seeds.
- Dice the cucumber into thin rounds and then chop into small pieces to match the watermelon size.
- Get the feta ready by crumbling it with a fork until it’s nicely broken down.
- Chop the mint by stacking leaves, rolling them, and slicing into thin strips.
- Make the dressing by whisking together lime juice and honey in a small bowl.
- Combine the watermelon, cucumber, feta, and mint in a large bowl, drizzling the dressing over the top.

- Taste the salad and adjust with salt or more lime juice as needed.
- Chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving to meld the flavors.
