Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 large cucumber
- 2 cups watermelon
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 0.25 cup mint leaves
- 1 large lime
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the mixed salad greens thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds. Add the slices to the bowl with the salad greens.
Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes, removing any seeds if necessary. Add the watermelon cubes to the salad bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad.
Finely chop the mint leaves and sprinkle them across the top of the salad for a burst of fresh flavor.
To make the dressing, zest the lime and squeeze its juice into a small bowl. Add olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper, whisking until well combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to evenly coat all the ingredients. Be careful not to crush the watermelon cubes.
Serve the salad immediately as a refreshing appetizer, side, or light meal.
