Ingredients
2 wedges (5 cm each) fresh watermelon
40 g crumbled feta cheese
1 handful fresh mint leaves, chopped
2 lime wedges
Directions
Place one watermelon wedge on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice horizontally between the pink flesh and the outer rind to loosen the fruit. Then make vertical cuts downward through the flesh to create bite-size chunks, while keeping the fruit still attached to the rind.
Hold the watermelon wedge over a serving bowl and use your knife to scoop the chunks into the bowl. Pick out any dark seeds and discard them.
Repeat the cutting and scooping process with the second watermelon wedge.
Scatter the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the watermelon chunks.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint leaves over the top.
Squeeze the juice from both lime wedges over the entire dish and serve immediately.
Comments
This is a straightforward salad that hits on availability and cost. Watermelon, feta, mint, and lime are all standard stock at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart in Charlotte year-round, with no special stops needed. The 15-minute time is honest—it's just cutting and tossing. At roughly $3 for a quarter watermelon, $2 for feta, and pocket change for mint and lime, you're under $3 per serving, which is solid for a bright summer side. The main trade-off is that this doesn't reheat well and is really a same-night dish, and it's more of a refreshing side or light lunch than a dinner that feeds a family on its own, which limits its household usefulness for a weeknight rotation.
