Ingredients

  • 1 English cucumber, cut into 1" chunks (about 2 cups)
  • 2 cups watermelon cubes, 1" chunks
  • ½ cup crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese
  • ½ cup kalamata olives, sliced
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons mint, cut into thin ribbons

Honey Lime Dressing

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 dash cayenne pepper
  • salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Whisk together the honey-lime dressing ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Place the watermelon, cucumber, goat cheese, Kalamata olives, green onions, and mint in the bowl.
  • Gently toss the watermelon cucumber mixture with the dressing. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with more goat cheese crumbles and green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • English cucumbers (the ones wrapped in plastic) are a time saver because they don’t require peeling or seeding. 
  • For the sweetest watermelon, choose one that’s small, round, and heavy for its size. 
  • Crumbled goat cheese or crumbled feta cheese are both delicious in this salad. 
  • Optional: serve this watermelon goat cheese salad over a bed of your favorite salad greens
