Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups watermelon, cubed (about 1/4 of a medium melon) Choose seedless if you want easier prep.
  • 1 cucumber, diced Persian or English cucumbers are great; peel and remove seeds if using a standard cucumber.
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled Use block feta for better texture; reduced-sodium feta is an option.
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped Swap with basil if preferred.
  • 1 lime, juiced Lemon works as a milder substitute.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Go light on salt if your feta is very salty.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Place the cubed watermelon in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the diced cucumber and crumbled feta on top of the watermelon.
  • Scatter the chopped mint over the mix and squeeze in the lime juice.
  • Toss everything together gently until evenly combined.
  • Taste and add a small pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper if needed.
  • Serve right away for the freshest texture or chill for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Avoid refrigeration beyond that to prevent a watery texture. For best flavor, consume within a day.
