- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey

Instructions
Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces) and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese and add it to the bowl with the watermelon.

Roughly chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, honey, sea salt, and ground black pepper to form the dressing.
