Now for the good part

Let’s make it.

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Pat watermelon cubes lightly with a clean towel. Put them in a wide bowl with cucumber.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Whisk oil, lime juice and pepper. Pour over the fruit and cucumber and toss gently.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    Add feta in pieces and the mint. Serve immediately with a spoon to catch the juices.

Little things that help

Make it your own.

  • Chill the watermelon before cutting; dressing it early draws out too much liquid.

Keeping the leftovers

Refrigerate promptly. Keep dressing and fresh toppings separate where possible; use within 2 days. Add avocado or delicate leaves just before serving.
