Ingredients

1 cup of feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves, chopped

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Zest of 1 lime (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon: Start by cutting the seedless watermelon into bite-sized cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

    Add Feta Cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the cubed watermelon. The creamy feta pairs beautifully with the sweet, juicy watermelon.

      Chop the Mint: Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and add them to the bowl with the watermelon and feta.

        Drizzle with Olive Oil and Vinegar: Drizzle the salad with olive oil and, if you like, balsamic vinegar for a touch of acidity. This adds depth to the flavors.

          Season: Lightly season the salad with salt and pepper to enhance the taste. If you're using lime zest, sprinkle it on top for an additional citrusy kick.

            Toss Gently: Using a spatula or your hands (if you prefer), gently toss the salad to combine all the ingredients without mashing the watermelon.

              Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or plate and enjoy immediately. It’s perfect for a refreshing side dish or a healthy summer snack!
