Lupin Free Watermelon Cucumber Mint Salad
This bright, refreshing salad is the kind of dish that practically screams summer — juicy watermelon cubes, crisp cucumber, and fragrant torn mint all tossed in a simple lime and olive oil dressing. The combination of sweet, cool, and citrusy hits every note you want on a warm day, and it comes together in just a few minutes with zero cooking required. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from lupin, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden flour alternatives sneaking into your bowl. A pinch of flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper pull the whole thing together, and the optional crumbled feta adds a creamy, salty contrast that takes it from simple to seriously impressive. A scatter of red pepper flakes is there if you want a little heat to play against the sweetness of the melon. This is the kind of salad you bring to a cookout and watch disappear first.
