Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (diced) Watermelon
- 2 medium (sliced) Cucumber
- 0.5 thinly sliced Red onion
- 1 cup (crumbled) Almond milk feta
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by chopping the watermelon into bite-sized cubes. You will need about 4 cups of diced watermelon. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds. If desired, you can halve the slices for easier bites. Add the cucumber slices to the watermelon.
Thinly slice the red onion into half-moons and add them to the bowl with watermelon and cucumber.
In a small bowl, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended to form the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the watermelon, cucumber, and onion mixture. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are coated with the dressing.
Add the crumbled almond milk feta and the chopped mint leaves to the salad. Toss lightly just to combine, taking care not to crush the feta.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual plates. Garnish with a few whole mint leaves for presentation if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to one hour before serving to let the flavors meld together. Enjoy!
