Ingredients

2½ cups watermelon, cubed
2 cups sliced cucumber
mint leaves
½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 Tablespoons olive oil
juice of one lime
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes.
Slice the cucumber into small cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine watermelon and cucumber.
Add the feta cheese and mint leaves.
Drizzle the olive oil over the salad and add the juice of one lime.
Season the salad with a pinch of salt and a dash of freshly ground black pepper.
Gently toss all the ingredients together to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Place the salad in the refrigerator to chill for about 15-30 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Select a ripe and sweet watermelon.

When cubing the watermelon, aim for uniform-sized pieces; it helps to distribute the flavor evenly.

Feta cheese is naturally salty, so be cautious about adding extra salt. Taste before adding more salt.

If you have any leftover Watermelon Cucumber Salad, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The watermelon and cucumber will release some liquid as they sit, so the salad may get a little watery. Just stir it well before serving and drain off any excess liquid.
