Instructions

Place the sliced red onion in a small bowl and pour the lime juice over it. Let the onions marinate while preparing the rest of the salad.
In a large bowl, combine the cubed watermelon, cucumber, crumbled feta, and chopped cilantro (or mint). Season with black pepper to taste.
Once the onions have marinated, add them to the salad and toss gently to combine.
Season with sea salt just before serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

For extra sweetness, try adding other fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or mango.
If you’re not a fan of cilantro, substitute with fresh basil or mint.
For a vegan option, omit the feta and use plant-based feta or other vegan cheese alternatives.
For added crunch, sprinkle toasted almonds or pistachios on top.
