watermelon and feta thing I keep making

Honestly it's barely a recipe but I've made it three times this week so here we go. Chunk up some watermelon, crumble over a decent amount of feta, handful of fresh mint, thinly sliced red onion if you can be bothered. Dressing is just lime juice, a tiny bit of olive oil, pinch of chilli flakes. That's it. Takes maybe ten minutes including the time you spend staring into the fridge wondering if you actually have feta (you do, it's at the back). To be fair I wasn't sure about the mint at first — it sounds a bit much — but it really does make it. The cold watermelon with the salty feta and that little heat from the chilli is just... it works. I've been eating it as lunch, as a side, once basically as dessert. No regrets.

try a bit of black pepper on top, sounds wrong but it works

the pepper thing makes sense actually, it cuts the sweetness — same reason the chilli flakes work here

black pepper on watermelon is actually a thing, had it at a BBQ last summer and was confused then converted

I've done this with cucumber instead of watermelon when I didn't have any — weirdly still works
