1. Cube the watermelon, dice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion.

2. Chop the fresh mint and basil and place all the prepared ingredients into a large mixing bowl.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and fresh lime juice to make the dressing.

4. Drizzle the dressing over the watermelon mixture and gently toss to combine.

5. Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour or up to overnight to allow the flavors to marinate.

6. Just before serving, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top.

7. Add salt to taste if desired and serve chilled.

Wait to add salt until just before serving since salt will draw water out of the watermelon.

This salad is perfect for summer picnics, BBQs, or light lunches.

For extra flavor, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator and enjoy within 24 hours for best texture.
