Instructions
1
Prepare the watermelon
Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes, removing the rind and seeds if necessary. Place in a large mixing bowl.
⏱ 5 min
💡 Choose a ripe watermelon for the best flavor and juiciness.
2
Prepare remaining ingredients
Crumble the feta cheese. If using red onion, thinly slice it. Chiffonade the mint leaves (stack, roll, and thinly slice).
⏱ 5 min
💡 Chiffonade mint by stacking leaves, rolling tightly, and slicing crosswise for fine ribbons.
3
Make the dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste.
⏱ 2 min
💡 Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
4
Assemble and serve
Add crumbled feta, sliced red onion (if using), and mint ribbons to the watermelon bowl. Drizzle with dressing and gently toss to combine. Serve immediately.
⏱ 3 min
💡 Don't overdress - watermelon releases its own juice. Serve chilled for best flavor.
