2 Persian cucumbers (approximately 1 cup), sliced
2 ½ oz arugula
4 oz feta cheese crumbled
1 tbsp mint chopped

Honey Lime Dressing

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp honey
1 lime juiced and zested
kosher salt to taste, I added about 1 ½ teaspoon

Remove the rind from the watermelon and cut it into cubes. Chop the mint and crumble the feta cheese.
Make the dressing by adding olive oil, lime zest, juice, salt, and honey in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
In a large serving bowl, add the watermelon, cucumbers, arugula, feta, and mint. Drizzle the dressing over top and gentry stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasongs as needed. Add a few additional sprigs of mint for presentation (optional) and enjoy cold.

Notes

Make ahead: Prepare the melon, cucumber, and dressing. Store everything in separate airtight containers in the fridge until it’s time to assemble.

Storing: Keep the leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge. It will get a little watery, so make sure to drain the excess liquid before eating. The leftovers should stay fresh for 1 or 2 days.
