IDK why I am obsessed with cutting cucumbers like this. Do rings if you prefer.

Step 1 - Place the watermelon, cucumber, sliced onion, feta cheese and mint leaves into a bowl and toss with spoons or hands. Place the honey, lime juice, oil and salt into a small jar and shake well to ensure honey is emulsified. Pour over the salad and toss gently to dress everything.
