Ingredients

Salad Ingredients:

¾ small watermelon (about 4 cups)
Small red onion
1 small cucumber
15-20 kalamata olives
1 block feta cheese (or plant-based equivalent)
Handful of fresh mint

Dressing ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp maple syrup
Salt and pepper

Instructions

Cube the watermelon into bite-sized cubes. Thinly slices the onion and cucumber and roughly chop the olives. Add them all to a large serving dish.
Crumble the feta and add to the bowl. Chop the mint leaves and add those too.
Mix all the dressing ingredients together in a small jar. Drizzle over the salad and mix well.

Notes

This will store in the fridge for about 3 days. I would recommend keeping the dressing separate and adding just before serving.
I don’t recommend freezing.
