- 1 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups crumbled Feta cheese (sheep's milk feta preferred)

- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.
- Place watermelon in a large salad bowl. Pour dressing and chopped mint over the watermelon and toss gently to coat. Pour the crumbled feta into the salad bowl and stir gently to integrate the cheese into the salad. Serve.
