Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups cubed fresh watermelon, seeds removed
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Method
 

  1. Cut your watermelon into bite-sized cubes, removing any visible seeds. Pat the pieces gently with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
  3. Place cubed watermelon in a large serving bowl. Add the sliced red onion.
  4. Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped mint leaves.
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently with clean hands or a large spoon. Add freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Let the salad rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes

Perfect for meal prep - assemble components separately and combine just before serving to keep everything fresh and crisp. Don't cut the watermelon too far in advance or it will release excess juice. Avoid over-mixing which can break down the feta. Don't add dressing until just before serving. Store leftovers in refrigerator for up to 2 days in an airtight container. Best served fresh and doesn't freeze well due to high water content.
