Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups seedless watermelon cubed into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 oz block feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves torn
  • 1/4 small red onion very thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice about 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt
  • black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Cube the watermelon into 1-inch pieces and spread across a large platter or shallow bowl. Chill beforehand if possible.
  2. Scatter crumbled feta over the watermelon, add thinly sliced red onion, and tear mint leaves on top.
  3. Whisk lime juice, honey, and olive oil together until the honey dissolves, then drizzle over the salad.
  4. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and black pepper and serve immediately.

Notes

Use cold watermelon and block feta crumbled fresh for the best results. Tear mint rather than chopping it to prevent browning. Dress right before serving to keep the watermelon from releasing too much juice.
