Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by gathering your fresh ingredients for the Watermelon Feta Cucumber Salad. Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes, discarding seeds. Slice the cucumber into similar-sized pieces. Crumble the feta cheese.
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the cubed watermelon and cucumber, being careful not to mash the watermelon. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top.
If using fresh herbs, finely chop the fresh mint or basil and add to the salad mixture. Toss gently.
Drizzle olive oil over the salad if desired, and lightly toss the ingredients.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving. Gently stir and serve on a platter.
