Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh watermelon, cubed

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon: Start by cutting the watermelon into bite-sized cubes. Make sure to remove any seeds for a smoother texture.

    Combine Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, combine the cubed watermelon and crumbled feta cheese. Gently toss to mix without breaking the feta.

      Add Flavor: Add the chopped fresh mint leaves to the bowl for a refreshing flavor boost.

        Dress the Salad: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar (if using) over the watermelon and feta mixture. Squeeze the lime juice over the salad, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Toss Gently: Using a large spoon or salad tongs, gently toss all the ingredients together until the salad is well combined and every bite is flavorful.

            Chill and Serve: For best results, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve cold and enjoy!
