Print Recipe

A refreshing summer salad combining juicy watermelon, crisp cucumber, salty feta, and fresh mint with a honey-lime dressing. Quick and easy to prepare, perfect for warm weather gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups watermelon, cubed (seedless if possible)
  • 1 large English cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Juice and zest of 1 large lime (about 2 tablespoons juice)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut about 4 cups (600g) of watermelon into bite-sized cubes. Pat dry gently with paper towels if needed to avoid excess juice.
  2. Peel the cucumber if waxed, then dice into small cubes roughly the same size as the watermelon.
  3. Remove mint leaves from stems and roughly chop about 1/4 cup (10g).
  4. In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the watermelon, cucumber, crumbled feta, and mint.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice and zest, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Drizzle the honey lime dressing over the salad mixture and toss lightly to coat evenly.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for up to an hour to let flavors meld. Cover with plastic wrap if chilling.

Notes

Use a serrated knife for easier watermelon cutting. Avoid overdressing to prevent sogginess. Keep ingredients chilled until just before prep. For vegan version, replace feta with plant-based cheese or omit and add nuts. Store dressing separately if making ahead.
