Ingredients

4 cups seedless watermelon (700g) cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup English cucumber (170g) finely diced
1/4 cup red onion (60g) paper-thin sliced
3 Tbsp fresh mint leaves chopped
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (28g)
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (30g)
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice (30g)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions

Add the olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper to a pourable pyrex or bowl. Whisk until combined and slightly emulsified.
Place the watermelon cubes in a large bowl with the cucumber, red onion and mint.
Pour the dressing over top and toss gently with two spoons to evenly coat the watermelon.
Transfer to a serving bowl. Top with the crumbled feta. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Keep in mind that the watermelon will continue to release juice, so it may become a bit watery the next day. For the best texture, wait to add the dressing and feta until just before serving.
