Ingredients

  • 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon

  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese

  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced

  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, torn

  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves (optional), torn

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine watermelon cubes, feta, red onion, and mint (and basil if using).
  • Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil.
  • Gently toss to combine.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste — go light on the salt, as feta is naturally salty.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with extra mint if desired.

Notes

  • Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.
  • Add a handful of arugula or baby spinach for extra greens.
  • A sprinkle of toasted nuts or seeds (like pumpkin or pine nuts) adds extra crunch.
