Ingredients

2 cups watermelon fresh and chilled, sliced into cubes
2 tablespoons feta cheese crumbled or cubed (chilled)
1 tablespoon mint leaves chopped (chilled)

for garnishing

mint leaves fresh, a few (chilled)
1 teaspoon feta cheese crumbled (chilled)

Instructions

Place the watermelon cubes in a large bowl.
Add chopped mint leaves and feta cheese, gently mix in to combine with the watermelon cubes evenly.
Transfer the prepared watermelon mint feta salad to a serving salad bowl (If there is any leftover liquid from the watermelon in the first bowl, you can discard that).
Garnish with fresh whole mint leaves and crumbled feta cheese, serve immediately for best results.

Notes

If you need to serve this watermelon salad later, you may refrigerate and use the same day or the next day.

The salad may not last fresh more longer than that. Also, keep in mind that watermelon has a lot of water content and depending on the kind of watermelon, the water from the watermelon can make the salad soggy as you keep it for more time.

That is one reason why you should immediately serve this salad after you mix in the ingredients.

If you store this some more time for later use, you may discard any leftover liquid from the watermelons and serve in a different bowl for best results.

Another idea is to place the salad in a strainer on top of a bowl for at least few minutes, so the extra water will accumulate in the bowl beneath the strainer and then you can easily transfer the salad to a different serving bowl right before serving.

It is also a good idea to store the ingredients separately in different containers inside the refrigerator until ready for serving, and just before you are ready to serve, you can mix the ingredients together to make the salad so it has less chance of turning soggy.
