Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups watermelon cubed and chilled, about 1/2 large melon
  • 6 oz feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves torn
  • 1/4 red onion very thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 lime juiced, about 2 tbsp
  • 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly cracked

Method
 

  1. Soak the sliced red onion in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain well. This takes away the harsh bite and keeps it crisp.
  2. Arrange the chilled watermelon cubes on a large platter or in a wide shallow bowl. Scatter the drained onion over the top.
  3. Whisk the olive oil and lime juice together, then drizzle evenly over the watermelon.
  4. Crumble the feta over everything, tear the mint leaves directly over the top, and finish with flaky salt and cracked pepper. Serve immediately.
