Method
 

  1. Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes and slice the cucumbers.
  2. Soak the red onion slices in cold water for five minutes, then drain.

  4. In a small jar, whisk together olive oil and lime juice, then pour over the salad.

  7. Chill for about ten minutes before serving.

Notes

Use cold ingredients for the best refreshing effect. Add mint just before serving to keep it vibrant.
