- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Small pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped mint leaves
- 4 ounces crumbled Feta cheese (sheep feta recommended for the creamiest texture and best flavor contrast)

- Pour the dressing over the chilled diced watermelon along with the mint. Toss gently to combine. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top and serve immediately.
