Whole 30 Crisp Watermelon Cucumber Mint Salad
Few things hit harder on a hot day than a bowl of juicy watermelon and cool cucumber, and this salad delivers exactly that kind of refreshing, no-fuss satisfaction. The simple dressing — just extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of sea salt — lets the produce shine without any added sugars or off-plan ingredients getting in the way. Raw honey is listed as optional, and since it's compliant in its whole, unprocessed form, you can include it or skip it depending on where you are in your reset. Torn fresh mint scattered throughout gives every bite a bright, herby lift that makes the whole thing feel a little more special than your average fruit salad. That short 10-minute rest before serving is worth it — the watermelon releases its juice and mingles with the dressing to create a light, naturally sweet pool of flavor at the bottom of the bowl. It's the kind of side dish that disappears fast at a cookout or works just as well as a solo lunch straight from the mixing bowl.
