Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed watermelon, cucumber, red onion, and mint.

Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice, then gently toss to combine. Add the crumbled feta cheese and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss again just before serving. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours for extra refreshment.

Notes

Use a mandoline slicer for thin, even cucumber and onion slices.
English cucumbers work best as they’re seedless and crisp.
Add arugula or baby spinach for a heartier version.
For a burst of sweetness, try adding a few halved grapes or a drizzle of honey-balsamic glaze.
