This salad is pure summer in a bowl: juicy watermelon cubes and crisp cucumber tossed with a bright lime-honey dressing, then finished with torn mint and thinly sliced red onion for a little bite. Feta brings a briny, salty edge that balances the fruit's sweetness perfectly, while a good drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil ties everything together with that signature Mediterranean richness. A pinch of flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper sharpen the flavors, and a scatter of red pepper flakes adds just enough heat if you want it. It's light, hydrating, and packed with fresh produce and healthy fats — exactly the kind of simple, plant-forward dish that fits naturally into a Mediterranean way of eating. Serve it straight away while the watermelon is still cold and the herbs are vibrant, and it's a refreshing addition to any warm-weather spread.
