Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 4 cups ripe, seedless watermelon, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 cups crisp cucumber, peeled and sliced into thin rounds or half-moons
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, gently chopped
  • 1/2 cup plant-based feta, crumbled

Dressing Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes, ensuring they are juicy but firm enough to hold their shape. Peel and slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your desired texture. Gently chop fresh mint leaves to release their fragrance without bruising.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice (natural), olive oil (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper for seasoning, then taste and adjust the balance for the best zing.
  3. Assemble the Salad: Combine watermelon, cucumber, and mint in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the prepared dressing and toss gently to coat everything evenly without crushing the delicate fruit.
  4. Add Feta (Plant-Based) and Serve: Sprinkle crumbled plant-based feta over the top for a burst of creamy saltiness. Serve immediately to enjoy the textures at their freshest, or chill for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Choose vibrant, firm watermelon and cucumbers for the best texture.
  • Serving the salad cold enhances its refreshing qualities.
  • Mix lightly to avoid breaking up the watermelon cubes.
  • Always squeeze lime juice fresh for vivid, natural acidity.
  • Add salt and pepper gradually to fine-tune the flavor.
