Ingredients
  

4 cups of seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 medium cucumbers, diced (peeling is optional, based on preference)

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled into bite-sized pieces

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped coarsely

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced watermelon, diced cucumbers, crumbled feta cheese, and thinly sliced red onion. Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lime juice, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. This will be your flavorful dressing.

      Drizzle the dressing over the watermelon and cucumber mixture. Carefully toss the ingredients together, being cautious not to overly break apart the watermelon chunks.

        Incorporate the chopped mint leaves into the salad, giving it one last gentle toss to distribute the mint's fresh flavor throughout.

          Allow the salad to rest at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes. This resting period lets the flavors meld beautifully.

            Serve the salad either chilled or at room temperature. If desired, garnish with additional mint leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.
