Ingredients
  

4 cups of seedless watermelon, diced

2 medium cucumbers, diced (peeling optional)

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced watermelon, diced cucumbers, crumbled feta cheese, and thinly sliced red onion.

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

      Pour the dressing over the watermelon and cucumber mixture. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly without breaking up the watermelon too much.

        Add the chopped mint leaves and give the salad one final gentle toss.

          Let the salad sit for about 10-15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.

            Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnishing with extra mint leaves if desired.
