Watermelon and Feta salad. This healthy and refreshing salad with watermelon, feta cheese, and fresh mint is dressed with olive oil and lime juice. Watermelon + cucumbers is one of the most refreshing combos of all time. Throw in some mint, red onion, and feta and toss it all with a very simple vinaigrette (just olive oil + red wine vinegar), and you've got yourself a mean summer salad.
