- 1 cup feta cheese
- 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole lime
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
Begin by slicing the watermelon into bite-sized cubes, ensuring you have approximately 4 cups. Place the cubes in a large mixing bowl.

Crumble the feta cheese over the watermelon and cucumber mixture.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad mixture.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the salad. Be sure to remove any seeds that might fall in.

Serve immediately, or chill the salad in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes to enhance the flavors before serving.
