- 4 cups watermelon, cubed and chilled
- 1 cucumber, sliced thin
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional Add-ins:
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1/4 cup fresh basil
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Cube watermelon and slice the cucumber. Chop mint leaves and slice red onion if using.
- Combine in a Bowl: Add the watermelon, cucumber, feta, and mint into a large mixing bowl. Add any additional ingredients like red onion or pomegranate seeds.

Notes

- Chill ingredients for a cooler, more refreshing salad.
- Adjust sweetness with honey or keep it natural with watermelon’s flavor.
- Fresh mint is essential—dried mint won’t provide the same vibrant taste.
