Directions

1. Soak sliced red onion in cold water for about 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry. This will help get rid of the onion’s pungent flavor.

2. Mix oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake to emulsify, taste and adjust seasoning.

3. Add watermelon to a salad bowl or a shallow serving plate. Top with crumbled feta and garnish with red onion and cilantro. Add a good drizzle of the lime dressing. Enjoy!
