    Ingredients

    • 4 cups cubed watermelon (seedless, chilled)

    • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

    • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (optional)

    • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

    • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice or balsamic glaze

    • Fresh mint or basil leaves, chopped

    • Salt and black pepper, to taste

    Directions

    • In a large bowl, gently combine watermelon cubes, red onion (if using), and feta.
    • Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice or balsamic glaze.
    • Add chopped herbs, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
    • Toss gently to mix, being careful not to break the feta too much.
    • Serve immediately, or chill for 10–15 minutes before serving.

    Notes

    • Use a good-quality feta for the creamiest, most flavorful result.
    • Want crunch? Add toasted almonds, pistachios, or cucumber.
    • For a gourmet twist, finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and chili flakes.
