Ingredients:

  • 6 cups (900g) seedless watermelon, cubed into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup (150g) English cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup (15g) red onion, thinly sliced into half-moons
  • 1/4 cup (15g) fresh cilantro or mint, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp (5g) Tajin seasoning or smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5g) red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) sea salt
  • 1/2 cup (75g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced into rings

Instructions:

  1. Cube the watermelon and dice the cucumber. Place them in a large bowl and immediately chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to preserve structural integrity.
  2. In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, Tajin, red pepper flakes, and salt until the oil is fully integrated and the dressing looks glossy and opaque.
  3. Add the sliced red onion and jalapeño to the chilled fruit. Pour the dressing over the top and gently fold the ingredients together using a silicone spatula until thinly coated.
  4. Fold in the crumbled feta and chopped herbs. Give it one final, light stir before serving.
