Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 4 cups Cubed seedless watermelon (Cold and juicy for best flavor.)
- 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled (Block feta is preferred for creaminess.)
- 1 medium Cucumber, sliced (Half moons are recommended for texture.)
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced (Soak in cold water for 5 minutes to reduce sharpness if desired.)
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves, torn (Fresh mint adds a cooling flavor.)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (Freshly squeezed is best.)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (A small drizzle enhances flavor.)
- to taste none Black pepper (A must for seasoning.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Chop the watermelon into bite-sized cubes. If it’s super juicy, let it sit in a colander for a minute.
- Slice the cucumber into half-moons, not too thin.
- Slice a little red onion. Soak in cold water if you find it too sharp.
- Toss the watermelon, cucumber, and onion in a big bowl.
- Add crumbled feta and torn mint leaves.
- Finish with lime juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and black pepper. Toss gently.
Notes
