Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups watermelon, cubed
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: Feta cheese, crumbled (for garnish)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the cubed watermelon and diced cucumber, mixing gently to combine the two fruits evenly.
- Step 2: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey or agave syrup, sea salt, and black pepper until well blended.
- Step 3: Pour the dressing over the watermelon and cucumber mixture. Toss gently to ensure all pieces are coated with the dressing.
- Step 4: Add the chopped mint leaves to the salad and toss again lightly to incorporate the mint without bruising it.
- Step 5: If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top before serving for an extra layer of flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store any leftover Watermelon Mojito Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but keep the mint and feta separate until serving to prevent wilting and sogginess. Since this salad is best enjoyed fresh, reheating isn't necessary; serve it chilled for a refreshing taste. For a delightful presentation, serve the salad in individual bowls and garnish with extra mint leaves and a sprinkle of feta cheese on top right before serving. To enhance the flavors, taste the dressing before combining it with the salad; feel free to adjust the sweetness or acidity by adding more honey or lime juice according to your preference.
