Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Seedless watermelon
- 1 large Cucumber
- 0.5 cup Reduced-fat feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the seedless watermelon into bite-sized cubes. You will need approximately 4 cups of watermelon cubes.
Peel the cucumber and slice it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds using a spoon and then slice it into thin half-moons.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the watermelon cubes and sliced cucumber.
Crumble the reduced-fat feta cheese over the watermelon and cucumber mixture.
Chop the fresh mint leaves roughly and add them to the bowl.
Zest the lime using a fine grater, then cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the salad ingredients.
Drizzle the olive oil over the salad, then sprinkle with the salt and black pepper.
Gently toss the salad to combine all ingredients thoroughly. Be careful to mix without crushing the watermelon pieces.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour for enhanced flavors before serving.
