Watermelon Salad

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 large limes)
• 5 to 6 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 1/2 small 5-pound watermelon), preferably chilled
• 2 cups chopped cucumbers, preferably English or Persian
• 1 cup packed mint leaves
• 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• Salt, to taste
• Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Combine the sliced red onions and lime juice in a small bowl. Let it sit until slightly softened, 10 to 15 minutes.
3. In a very large bowl, combine the watermelon, cucumber, mint, and feta and toss gently. Add the red onion, reserving the lime juice.
4. To make the dressing, add the olive oil to the small bowl with the lime juice from the onions. Whisk together and add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Add the dressing to the salad and toss gently to incorporate. Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately, or chill for up to 2 hours before serving.
