Ingredients
  

4 cups of seedless watermelon, cubed

1 cup of cucumber, diced

1/2 cup of red onion, finely chopped

1 cup of fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped

1/4 cup of feta cheese, crumbled

2 tablespoons of honey

2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon of olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup of sparkling water or soda

Optional: Lime zest for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing all your vegetables and herbs thoroughly under cold water. Cube the watermelon into bite-sized pieces, dice the cucumber into small cubes, and finely chop the red onion. Roughly chop the fresh mint leaves and set aside to release their aromatic oils.

    Make the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, fresh lime juice, and olive oil. Whisk them together until smoothly blended. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, tasting as you go to find the right balance. Adjust the seasoning if needed to suit your palate.

      Combine the Salad: In a large salad bowl, gently combine the cubed watermelon, diced cucumber, chopped red onion, and mint leaves. Carefully pour the prepared dressing over the salad mixture. With a light hand, toss everything together to ensure all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.

        Add Feta and Sparkle: After mixing, evenly sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad for a delightful creaminess. Just before serving, gently drizzle the sparkling water or soda over the salad to incorporate a refreshing fizz.

          Garnish and Serve: For an extra burst of citrusy aroma and flavor, sprinkle lime zest atop the salad. Serve immediately to enjoy the vibrant flavors and crisp texture at its freshest.

            Enjoy the experience: This salad is best served chilled and makes a refreshing accompaniment to grilled meats or as a light appetizer at summer gatherings. Its vibrant colors and flavors are sure to impress your guests!
