Main Ingredients

Watermelon

800 g

Feta cheese

200 g

Fresh mint leaves

20 g

Red onion

1 piece

Extra virgin olive oil

45 ml

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.

Storage

Fridge: 1 days
Reheat: Not required

Best eaten fresh. If storing, keep dressing separate and add just before serving to prevent sogginess.

Notes

• Perfect for summer barbecues and picnics.

• Can be made ahead but assemble just before serving.
