Sea salt flakes, to taste
-
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-

Zest the lime directly into the bowl, then squeeze in the juice.

Season with sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Gently toss the salad to combine, being careful not to break the feta.

Use chilled watermelon for extra refreshment.
Add feta last if it’s very crumbly to preserve its texture.
Optional flavor boosters: sliced red onion or chili flakes.
Leftovers keep well for up to 2 days but may get watery—drain and refresh before serving.
