This easy watermelon salad recipe is perfect for a light lunch or side dish. With juicy red or yellow watermelon, refreshing cucumbers, briny feta cheese, and fragrant herbs, it's a delicious way to enjoy the fresh flavors of summer.
Dice the watermelon by slicing it into 1-inch rounds. Use four cuts to turn the round into a square, removing the rind. Cut the square into about 1-inch cubes. Add cubed watermelon to a large mixing bowl and discard the rind. Repeat until all the water melon is cubed.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, salt, olive oil, and honey. Pour the dressing over the watermelon and toss.
Cut the cucumbers into thin rounds, discarding the ends. Add to the bowl with the watermelon.
Finely chop the mint and basil and add to the bowl. Toss the salad gently.
Top the salad with crumbled Feta. Season the salad to taste with salt (if needed) and freshly-cracked black pepper (if desired).
Serve immediately. Enjoy the salad within 1 day of making for best quality.
