Watermelon Feta Mint Salad
This Watermelon Feta Mint Salad combines diced watermelon and cucumber with crumbled feta cheese, fresh herbs, and thinly sliced red onion. Tossed in a light dressing of olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and seasoning, it offers a refreshing balance of sweet, salty, and herbaceous flavors.
