Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups watermelon, cubed
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Step1:

Start by preparing the watermelon. Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step2:

Add the crumbled feta cheese to the bowl with the watermelon. Ensure the feta is evenly distributed for a balanced flavor in each bite.

Step3:

Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl. The red onion adds a nice sharpness that contrasts well with the sweetness of the watermelon.

Step4:

Chop the fresh mint and basil leaves and sprinkle them over the salad. These herbs add a fragrant and refreshing touch to the dish.

Step5:

In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Pour this dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients.
