Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon
  • 2 cups sliced or cubed English cucumber
  • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt

Method
 

  1. Cut watermelon into 1-inch cubes and cucumber into 1/4-inch slices. You should have about 4 cups watermelon and 2 cups cucumber.
  2. In a large bowl, combine watermelon, cucumber, 3 tbsp lime juice, and the torn mint. Gently toss for 1 minute until glossy.
  3. Spoon into a serving dish, sprinkle with 1/4 tsp flaky salt, and add any optional feta or chili. Finish with extra mint and serve immediately.

Notes

For the best texture, cut the watermelon and cucumber no more than an hour ahead and keep them chilled separately. Assemble just before serving and add the salt at the last minute to avoid a watery salad.
