Watermelon + Cucumber + Feta Salad
A refreshing and nutritious salad that combines sweet watermelon, crunchy cucumber, and savory feta cheese, perfect for hot summer days.
Ingredients
For the salad
- 4 cups ripe watermelon, cubed

- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 1-2 limes lime for zest
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by gathering your ingredients. Wash the watermelon and cucumbers thoroughly to remove any residues.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.
- Dice the cucumbers into similar-sized pieces and add to the bowl with the watermelon.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the watermelon and cucumber mixture.
- Chop the fresh mint leaves and add them to the salad.
- Squeeze the juice of 1 to 2 limes over the salad, along with the olive oil. Gently toss to combine.
- Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting lime juice or olive oil as needed.
