Refreshing Watermelon Feta Salad

Ingredients

- 4 cups watermelon cubes (about 1-inch pieces)
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, roughly torn
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Watermelon: Begin by cutting the watermelon into small, even cubes, approximately 1-inch in size. This will ensure each bite is uniformly refreshing and easy to eat.

2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the watermelon cubes and crumbled feta cheese. The contrast of the juicy watermelon and the salty cheese will create a delightful balance of flavors.

3. Add Freshness: Sprinkle the roughly torn mint leaves over the watermelon and feta mixture, adding a refreshing and aromatic layer to your salad.

4. Dress the Salad: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and olive oil until emulsified. Pour this dressing over the salad, adding a bright, tangy flavor that complements the sweetness of the watermelon.

5. Season: Lightly season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir gently to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated without crushing the watermelon.

6. Chill and Serve: Place the salad in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled for the best taste.
