For the salad

8 cups cubed watermelon, chilled (about 1/2 medium-large fruit)
1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese (or feta cheese)
1/2 cup chopped red onion
3 tablespoons thinly sliced mint leaves
1 jalapeño pepper chopped

For the dressing

2 limes zested and juiced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime zest, lime juice, olive oil and salt.
Pour the lime dressing into the large watermelon bowl and gently toss everything together.
Serve immediately.

Notes

I recommend chilling the watermelon before making the salad.

This salad is best served immediately after making.
