Step-by-Step Instructions for Watermelon Feta Salad
- Start by cutting your sweet watermelon into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large bowl. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Thinly slice half a red onion and soak in cold water with a pinch of kosher salt for about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Slice a crisp Persian or English cucumber into 1/4-inch half-moons and set aside.
- Tear fresh mint leaves into smaller pieces and crumble the block of feta cheese.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper.
- Gently combine the chilled watermelon, drained red onion, sliced cucumber, and three-quarters of your torn mint in a chilled mixing bowl. Drizzle most of the dressing over and toss carefully.
- Fold in the crumbled feta. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Before serving, sprinkle remaining mint leaves and optionally top with toasted pistachios.

Notes
Best served immediately for optimal freshness. Avoid adding dressing too early to prevent sogginess.
