Most of the popular watermelon recipes use feta cheese, which is definitely delicious, but this recipe for watermelon is free of any cheese and uses only dairy free ingredients for the simple dressing, so this is a simple and delicious watermelon salad mint recipe without feta cheese (no cheese watermelon salad recipe).
The basic and most important ingredient of a watermelon is nothing else, but fresh watermelon.

I have used fresh lime juice and honey, along with some fresh mint leaves to make this delicious and refreshing watermelon salad.
The honey lime dressing combined with watermelon & mint makes this a sweet fruit salad that is refreshing and delicious on it's own! Honey lime dressing is one of my favorite fruit salad dressings to use, because it is so easy to put together and you just need two ingredients to make it. It's super easy to do and also it tastes amazing!
If you do not have lime, you can use fresh lemon juice as well!
I have also used honey lemon dressing in this strawberry blueberry banana fruit salad, which is another summer fruit salad but it is also perfect for anytime of the year when you have got fresh berries at home.
If you have fresh mint leaves at your home, I highly recommend adding them to this simple salad.
You can wash the leaves, chop them up and mix with the salad and garnish with a few mint leaves which are not chopped. You may also just mix in the leaves as such without chopping if you like it that way.
Most often, I do not chop the mint leaves when adding to the salad and it is so yummy and refreshing.
Adding mint leaves will give this salad a wonderful flavor while still keeping it pretty simple and easy to put together.
I am not using any nuts in this recipe, but if you want it crunchy, add 2 tablespoons of walnuts or chopped almonds and toss them with the watermelon cubes in the salad bowl, before adding the dressing.
