- 4 cups watermelon cubed (around 1/2 small melon)
- 1/3 cup feta cheese crumbled
- prig mint leaves for garnish
- Pinch Sea salt and black pepper
The Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons honey
Instructions
- Dice the cucumber and set aside.
- Thinly slice the red onion.
- Remove the seeds and skin from the watermelon. Cut the watermelon into stripes and the cubes. Set aside.
- Combine the cubed watermelon, diced cucumber, and sliced red onions in a bowl.
- In a small bowl, add the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and whisk to combine. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Arrange the watermelon, cucumber, and red onions on a plate and drizzle with the dressing. Top with crumbled feta cheese and garnish with mint leaves. Season with salt and pepper and serve!
Notes
- Choose a watermelon that feels heavy for its size, with a uniform shape and a creamy yellow spot where it sat on the ground (indicating ripeness). Knock on the watermelon – a deep, hollow sound signifies a ripe, juicy melon. Avoid those with soft, flat, or indented areas, as they may be overripe or lack sufficient water content.
