Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 large Seedless watermelon cubed into bite-sized pieces
  • 6 oz Block feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup Fresh mint leaves finely chopped
  • 1/2 medium Red onion thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp High-quality olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice
  • 1 pinch Black pepper freshly ground

Method
 

  1. Prep the Fruit: Cube half of a seedless watermelon into bite-sized pieces and place them into a large, potluck-friendly serving bowl.
  2. Add Savory Elements: Evenly crumble 6 ounces of block feta cheese over the watermelon, then scatter the thinly sliced red onion across the top.
  3. Garnish with Herbs: Sprinkle 1/4 cup of finely chopped fresh mint leaves over the mixture for that signature summer freshness.
  4. Whisk the Dressing: In a separate small jar or bowl, vigorously shake or whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice, and a pinch of black pepper.
  5. Toss & Chill: Pour the dressing gently over the salad right before transporting, and toss lightly so the feta doesn't break down too much. Keep chilled in a cooler or fridge until the exact moment of serving.
