In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced cucumber, diced tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and chilled watermelon cubes. (5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, sugar, dried oregano, dried basil, ground thyme, and freshly ground black pepper until well emulsified. (3 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Pour the vinaigrette over the cucumber and watermelon mixture. Gently toss to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. (2 minutes)

04

Step
20 mins

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (20 minutes)

05

Step

Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing flavors of this summer salad.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese just before serving.
If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a touch more sugar to the vinaigrette, adjusting to your taste.
Fresh mint or basil, finely chopped, can be added for a brighter, herbaceous note.
Make sure the watermelon is well-chilled for the best refreshing experience.
This salad is best enjoyed within a few hours of preparation to prevent the watermelon from becoming too soggy.
