Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon
- 1 cup vegan feta cheese
- 1 medium cucumber
- 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole lime
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the watermelon into cubes of approximately 1-inch size, ensuring the seeds are removed. Place the cubes into a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on preference. Add the cucumber slices to the bowl with the watermelon.
Crumble or cube the vegan feta cheese and gently mix it with the watermelon and cucumber.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely, reserving a few whole leaves for garnishing. Add the chopped mint to the salad mixture.
Zest the lime and then juice it. Pour the lime juice and zest in a small bowl, and whisk in the olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.
Drizzle the lime-olive oil dressing over the salad, and gently toss all ingredients together until they are evenly coated.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or platter, garnish with the reserved mint leaves, and serve immediately for maximum freshness.
