Method
1. Cut the watermelon into bite‑size cubes (about 1‑inch pieces) and place them in a large mixing bowl.
2. Peel, pit, and dice the avocados into similar‑sized cubes; add them to the bowl with the watermelon.
3. Crumble the feta cheese over the fruit mixture.
4. Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint leaves over the salad for a burst of aroma.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra‑virgin olive oil and lime juice until emulsified.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Olive oil and lime juice whisk into an emulsified dressing.
6. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad, then gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Salad is gently coated without mashing the avocado. Toss lightly to keep the avocado cubes intact.
7. Season the salad with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste; give it one final light toss.
8. Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates and serve immediately, or chill for up to 15 minutes for a colder presentation.
9. Optional: garnish each serving with an extra few mint leaves or a thin lime wedge for added visual appeal.
