This bright, refreshing salad is everything you want on a warm day — juicy watermelon, cool crisp cucumber, and fragrant torn mint all tossed together in a simple lime and olive oil dressing. A pinch of flaky sea salt pulls the flavors into focus, and if you're feeling it, crumbled feta and a hit of red pepper flakes take the whole thing somewhere unexpectedly sophisticated. Every single ingredient here is naturally grain-free, so there's no label-reading required and no substitutions to stress over. The dressing comes together in seconds — just lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper — which means the produce does all the heavy lifting. It's the kind of dish that looks stunning on a table without requiring much effort at all. Serve it immediately so the watermelon stays firm and the mint stays bright, and don't be surprised when people ask for the recipe before they've even finished their first bite.
