Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes, removing any seeds if necessary. Place the cubes in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, red chili flakes, and salt until well combined.
Pour the honey-lime mixture over the watermelon cubes and gently toss to coat the watermelon evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint leaves over the watermelon and toss gently again.
Optional: Add crumbled feta cheese on top for a creamy, salty contrast.
Transfer the hot sweet watermelon to a serving platter or individual bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy this refreshing and spicy-sweet treat!
