Sweet, juicy watermelon cubes and crisp cucumber half-moons come together in this refreshing summer salad, tossed in a bright dressing of fresh lime juice and good olive oil. Torn mint leaves add a cooling herbal lift, while a scatter of chili flakes brings just enough heat to keep things interesting. Every bite balances cool, crunchy, tangy, and a little spicy, and the whole thing comes together in minutes with no cooking required. It's a light, hydrating dish that's perfect for hot days, easy to double for a crowd, and a great pick for a vegan spread on the table.
