Juicy watermelon cubes and cool cucumber half-moons make the perfect base for this refreshing summer salad, with thin ribbons of red onion adding a sharp bite. A simple dressing of olive oil and fresh lime juice brings everything together, while flaky sea salt and black pepper sharpen every flavor. Torn mint leaves scattered over the top add a fragrant, herbal lift, and a pinch of red pepper flakes brings a little heat if you want it. Toss everything gently right before serving so the watermelon stays intact and every bite gets a little dressing. It's a light, colorful dish that comes together in minutes and makes a great addition to a plant-based spread.
