Ingredients

Salad

  • 6 cups seedless watermelon cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 large English cucumber halved lengthwise and sliced
  • 6 ounces feta cheese crumbled or cut into small cubes
  • 1/3 cup fresh mint leaves loosely packed, torn
  • 1/4 small red onion very thinly sliced

Honey Lime Dressing

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, and a small pinch of salt.
  • Place the watermelon, cucumber, feta, mint, and red onion in a large serving bowl.
  • Pour over about three quarters of the dressing and toss very gently so the watermelon and feta keep their shape.
  • Taste, add the remaining dressing if desired, and finish with a few extra mint leaves and a light pinch of flaky salt. Serve immediately.

Notes

Chill the watermelon and cucumber before assembling so the salad is ice cold when it hits the table.
Feta varies in saltiness, so taste before adding any extra salt.
Dress the salad just before serving. Watermelon releases juice as it sits, so this one is best eaten right away.
Make ahead: cut the watermelon and cucumber and mix the dressing up to one day ahead, store separately, and assemble at serving time.
For a little heat, sprinkle with Aleppo pepper or thinly sliced jalapeno just before serving.
