Instructions

In a large bowl, combine cubed watermelon and cucumber.
Add chopped mint or cilantro and toss gently.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
Serve immediately, or chill for 15–30 minutes to enhance the flavors. Add feta just before serving if using.

Notes

Use cold watermelon and cucumber for the most refreshing effect.
Feta adds a salty contrast to the sweet and tangy flavors.
Best enjoyed fresh, as watermelon releases water over time.
