Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon, cubed

- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the watermelon. Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the crumbled feta cheese to the bowl with the watermelon. Ensure the feta is evenly distributed for a balanced flavor in each bite.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl. The red onion adds a nice sharpness that contrasts well with the sweetness of the watermelon.
Chop the fresh mint and basil leaves and sprinkle them over the salad. These herbs add a fragrant and refreshing touch to the dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Pour this dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients.
