Ingredients
- 6 cups cubed watermelon (~ 4.5 lb / 2kg watermelon slice before cutting)
- 1 Persian or Lebanese cucumber
- 5.5oz / 150g feta cheese
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- Handful of mint leaves
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium fresh lime
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Slice the watermelon into cubes and place them in a large salad platter or deep salad bowl
- Thinly slice the cucumber into thin half moon shapes and cut the feta cheese into small cubes, then add them to the salad bowl
- Sprinkle over the chopped walnuts and roughly tear over the mint leaves - I like to leave the smaller mint leaves whole
- Make the dressing in a glass mason jar or ramekin, by adding olive oil, zest of the lime using a microplane grater then squeeze in the juice, and a good pinch of salt. Stir to combine
- When ready to serve, drizzle over the dressing and give it a light toss and enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Feta Salad!

Notes
- Watermelon - chill the watermelon before making the salad so it stays crisp and refreshing. When tossing the salad, do it gently to prevent the watermelon from breaking apart
- Make it ahead - you can prepare the ingredients and dressing earlier in the day and store them separately in the refrigerator. Then combine everything, add the dressing and toss just before serving for the best flavor and texture. Keep in mind the watermelon may release liquid and become less crisp over time
- Spice it up - add a pinch of chili flakes for a sweet and spicy twist
