Ingredients
1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from 4 to 6 limes)
8 cups watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes with seeds removed
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
Directions
Place the chopped red onion in a small bowl and pour the lime juice over it. Let the onion marinate for 5 minutes to soften slightly and mellow its sharp flavor.
Cut the watermelon into 1-inch cubes, removing any black seeds as you go. Transfer the cubes to a large serving bowl.
Pour the lime juice and marinated red onion over the watermelon cubes, including all the liquid.
Add the crumbled feta cheese to the bowl and gently toss to combine.
Just before serving, scatter the sliced mint and chopped parsley over the top and gently fold them into the salad to distribute evenly.
Serve immediately while the salad is chilled and the flavors are fresh.
Comments
Watermelon, mint, and feta are all reliably stocked at every major Charlotte grocer year-round or seasonally apt, with no special stops required; red onion and parsley are staples; lime and feta cheese run $2–3 combined, and watermelon is often under $6 in summer, yielding about $1–1.50 per serving for eight people, which is genuinely cheap. The stated 15 minutes is honest—it's just cutting and mixing, with no hidden prep. This is a no-fuss, family-friendly side that reheats poorly but works perfectly as a make-ahead salad for a cookout or weeknight dinner, though the mint will fade and watermelon weeps if it sits more than a few hours.
