Watermelon Feta Salad

Watermelon: 6 cups of seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes (chilled)

Feta Cheese: 1 cup (about 4–6 ounces) of high-quality block feta, crumbled or cubed

Fresh Mint: ½ cup of fresh mint leaves, torn or thinly sliced

Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil

Lime: 1 fresh lime, juiced (about 1–2 tablespoons)

Seasoning: A pinch of flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper (optional)

Prep the melon: Chop your cold watermelon and place the cubes into a large serving bowl.
Add the cheese and herbs: Gently scatter the crumbled feta and fresh mint leaves over the top of the watermelon.
Dress it gently: Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil and fresh lime juice evenly over the salad.
Toss and serve: Use large spoons to very gently toss the ingredients together so the feta doesn't completely break down or turn the melon cloudy. Top with a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt and black pepper if desired, and serve immediately.

MAKE AHEAD TIPS

Cube the watermelon and store it in an airtight container in the fridge.

Chop the mint and crumble the feta, keeping them in separate small containers.

The Golden Rule: Keep everything separate in the fridge. Combine them and add the lime juice and olive oil right before everyone is ready to eat.
