Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams watermelon
- 1 medium cucumber
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by removing the rind and seeds from the watermelon. Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1.5-inch in diameter.
Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to gently scoop out the seeds, then slice into thin half-moons.
Crumble the feta cheese into smaller chunks. You can use a fork or your hands to achieve the desired texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the watermelon cubes, cucumber slices, and crumbled feta cheese.
Chop the mint leaves finely and add them to the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the watermelon salad and gently toss everything together until all ingredients are well-coated with the dressing.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl and garnish with a few more fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving for an extra refreshing experience.
