Mediterranean Diet Friendly Lime-Dressed Watermelon Feta Salad

Juicy watermelon cubes and cool cucumber half-moons get tossed with thin ribbons of red onion, then finished with a bright, tangy dressing built from extra-virgin olive oil and fresh lime juice. A scatter of torn mint and a pinch of flaky sea salt bring the whole bowl into balance, with crushed red pepper flakes for anyone who wants a little heat against the sweetness. It's the kind of dish that comes together in minutes and tastes like peak summer, all crunch, juice, and herby freshness in every bite. Light olive-oil-based dressings, plenty of fresh produce, and herbs doing the heavy lifting are exactly the kind of everyday eating this style of diet is built around, which makes this salad a natural fit for a Mediterranean-style spread. Serve it straight from the bowl alongside grilled fish or warm flatbread and watch it disappear fast.
