Print Recipe

A quick and refreshing summer salad combining juicy watermelon, creamy feta, fresh mint, and tangy lime juice for a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600g) seedless watermelon, cubed
  • 1 cup (150g) crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup (about 15g) fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
  • Juice of 2 medium limes (about 3 tablespoons or 45ml)
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) extra-virgin olive oil
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, optional

Instructions

  1. Cut about 4 cups (600g) of seedless watermelon into roughly 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes and place in a large bowl.
  2. Crumble 1 cup (150g) of feta cheese with your fingers or a fork.
  3. Roughly chop about 1/4 cup (15g) of fresh mint leaves.
  4. Juice 2 medium limes to yield about 3 tablespoons (45ml) of fresh juice, removing any seeds.
  5. Add the crumbled feta and chopped mint to the watermelon cubes.
  6. Drizzle 2 tablespoons (30ml) of extra-virgin olive oil and the fresh lime juice over the salad.
  7. Gently toss everything together, being careful not to mash the watermelon.
  8. Season with a pinch of sea salt and a light grind of black pepper if using. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  9. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to let flavors meld before serving.

Notes

Use ripe watermelon with firm flesh to avoid mushiness. Handle mint gently to prevent bitterness. Finger-crumble feta for best texture. Chill briefly before serving but do not wait too long to avoid excess juice. Optional additions include thinly sliced red onion, toasted pistachios, or a zest of lime for extra flavor.
