Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

watermelon
  • 2 cup watermelon, cubed
strawberries
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
cucumber
  • 1 cup cucumber, sliced
fresh mint leaves
  • 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
feta cheese (optional)
  • 2 tbsp feta cheese optional
olive oil
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
lime juice
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
honey
  • 1 tsp honey
salt
  • 0.25 tsp salt pinch

Method
 

Mix the salad
  1. In a large bowl, combine the cubed watermelon, sliced strawberries, and sliced cucumber. Toss until the fruit and cucumber are evenly distributed (visual cue: bright red, pink, and green pieces look well mixed).
  2. Add the fresh mint leaves and gently fold them through the salad. Stop when mint is speckled throughout (visual cue: visible green mint flecks across the top).
Dress and finish
  1. In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, lime juice, honey, and salt until the dressing looks smooth and glossy. (visual cue: honey is fully blended with no streaks).
  2. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. (visual cue: fruit surfaces look lightly glossy rather than dry).
  3. Sprinkle the feta cheese on top if using, then give one last gentle toss. (visual cue: small white crumbles sit on the surface).
  4. Serve immediately for best freshness. (visual cue: salad looks vibrant and juicy right after dressing).

Notes

Pro tip: slice and cube everything right before assembling so the watermelon stays crisp and the strawberries stay juicy. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 1 day; it may release more liquid. Freezing is not recommended. For a dairy-free option, skip the feta entirely and add an extra pinch of salt for balance.
