6 cups watermelon, seeded and cubed
1 English cucumber, chopped
6 oz feta cheese, cubed
Handful fresh mint leaves, chopped
1 fresh lime (zest and juice)
Sea salt flakes, to taste
Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Add cubed watermelon to a large serving bowl.
Add chopped cucumber, feta cubes, and fresh mint leaves.
Pour in lime juice and add lime zest.

Add feta just before serving to keep it from breaking down.
Fresh mint gives the best flavor—don’t skip it.
