For this zesty watermelon and feta salad, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 small seedless watermelon, cubed (800g)
• 200g feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
• 1 small jalapeno, thinly sliced
• Juice of 1 lime
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of black pepper

To prepare this dish, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• mixing bowl

Start by cubing the watermelon and placing it in a large mixing bowl. Add the crumbled feta cheese, chopped mint leaves, and thinly sliced jalapeno. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Pour the dressing over the watermelon mixture and gently toss everything together until well combined. Make sure the watermelon is well coated with the dressing to ensure every bite is bursting with flavor.

Transfer the salad to a serving platter, allowing the colors and textures to shine. The vibrant red of the watermelon, the creamy white of the feta cheese, and the fresh green of the mint leaves make for a visually stunning dish.

One clever tip for this recipe is to chill the watermelon in the refrigerator for an hour before serving. The cool temperature enhances the juiciness of the fruit and adds a refreshing touch to the salad.
