This vibrant and refreshing salad combines the sweetness of watermelon with the saltiness of feta cheese, enhanced by a zesty lime dressing.
Slice the red onion thinly and place it in a small bowl.
Soaking the onion in lime juice will mellow its sharpness.
Juice the limes and pour the juice over the onion slices. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
This step enhances the flavor of the onion and adds a tangy kick.
Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Use a seedless watermelon for convenience.
Add the crumbled feta cheese, sliced cucumber, and chopped herbs to the bowl with the watermelon.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the watermelon cubes.
Drizzle the olive oil over the salad and season with freshly ground black pepper.
Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Add the marinated onions and lime juice to the salad and toss gently to combine.
Ensure even distribution of all ingredients for a balanced flavor.
Serve the salad chilled and enjoy.
Garnish with extra mint leaves for a fresh presentation.
