Growing up, I used to watch people slice watermelon and set a chunk of feta right beside it on the plate. Every single time, I wondered why anyone would do that to a perfectly good watermelon.
I skipped it for years. Sweet fruit and salty cheese just did not make sense to me. Then, few days ago I finally tried it, mostly out of curiosity, and I remember standing at the counter completely stunned. It worked! Not just worked, it was one of those combinations that made me wonder what else I had been wrong about.

That's the salad I want to share with you today. Watermelon, feta, fresh mint, and a good squeeze of lime, all ready to serve in just five minutes. The watermelon is sweet, the feta brings the salt, the mint keeps it cool and green, and the lime ties the whole thing together and makes it taste fresh and vibrant.
Plus, there is no cooking, how amazing is that? If you want a make ahead trick, cut the watermelon into cubes and store it separately in the fridge, then toss everything together right before you serve it. Watermelon releases a lot of juice once it sits, so assembling it fresh keeps it from getting watery.
