Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon (seedless)
- 1 large cucumber
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup feta cheese (optional)
- 1 large lime
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the seedless watermelon into bite-sized cubes and transfer them to a large salad bowl.
Peel, if desired, and slice the cucumber into thin half-moons. Add them to the bowl with the watermelon.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add a quarter-cup to the salad bowl.
Stack the fresh mint leaves, roll them tightly, and slice them into thin ribbons (chiffonade). Add to the salad for a burst of flavor.
If using, crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle it over the salad.
To make the dressing, zest the lime and then juice it into a small bowl. Whisk in the olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to ensure even coating.
Refrigerate the salad for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld, or serve immediately.
Enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Cucumber and Tomato Salad as a light meal or a side dish!
