Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 15 min
Yield: Serves 4-6
Ingredients: 8 cups seedless watermelon, cubed (about 1 medium watermelon); 1 cup crumbled feta cheese; 1 cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped; 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced; 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil; 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes); 1 tablespoon honey; 1/2 teaspoon sea salt; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved (optional); 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the watermelon

Cut the watermelon into 1-inch cubes, removing any seeds if necessary. Place in a large serving bowl and chill while preparing the other ingredients.
Make the dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Combine the ingredients

Add the crumbled feta, chopped mint leaves, and thinly sliced red onion to the bowl with the watermelon. If using, add the Kalamata olives as well.
Toss and serve

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, being careful not to break up the watermelon or feta too much. Serve immediately, or chill for up to 30 minutes before serving. If using, drizzle with balsamic glaze just before serving.
Presentation

For an elegant presentation, arrange the salad on a large platter and garnish with additional mint leaves. Alternatively, serve in individual bowls for a more casual setting.
