Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by rinsing your fresh produce under cold water. Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes, removing any seeds if necessary. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons. Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped watermelon and cucumber. Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese using a spatula to combine without breaking the feta.
  3. If using, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and freshly squeezed lime juice. Adjust to taste.
  4. Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad. Toss gently to incorporate.
  5. Before serving, give the salad a gentle toss to mix. Let it rest for a few minutes.
  6. Serve cold for the best experience. Enjoy immediately after preparation.

Notes

This salad is best enjoyed fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Avoid freezing to maintain texture.
