- 0.5 cup (chopped) Fresh mint leaves
- 2 whole (juiced) Lime
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil

- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the seedless watermelon into bite-sized cubes, measuring about 4 cups. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Slice the English cucumbers into thin rounds. If desired, you can leave the skin on for extra crunch and color. Add to the salad bowl with the watermelon.
Crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle it over the watermelon and cucumber in the bowl.
Chop the fresh mint leaves and gently mix them into the salad for a burst of herbal freshness.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing evenly over the watermelon and cucumber mixture in the salad bowl.
Gently toss everything together to ensure the flavors are well combined. Be careful not to break apart the watermelon cubes.
Serve immediately, or chill the salad in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Enjoy this light, refreshing summer delight!
