Ingredients

3 cups watermelon cubed or balled
1 1/2 cups sliced cucumber peeled and seeds removed
2 tablespoons mint thinly sliced or small mint leaves
1/3 cup feta cheese crumbled
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Place the watermelon, cucumber and mint in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice and salt and pepper.
Drizzle the dressing over the melon mixture and toss to coat. Sprinkle with feta and serve.

Notes

I recommend using a block of feta cheese versus the crumbled kind that comes in tubs, as I find the block of cheese has more flavor.
If you use a standard waxy cucumber you'll want to peel it and remove the seeds. Varieties such as English and Persian cucumbers do not need to be peeled or seeded.
