Watermelon-Cucumber Salad
(great on hot days)
2 cucumbers, peeled and cubed
small seedless watermelon
2 TBSPs fresh, chopped mint leaves
3 TBSPs lime juice
1 tsp sugar
crumbled feta (optional)

Slice small watermelon in half.
Scoop out flesh carefully, to leave the shells intact.
Cube watermelon, or using a melon baller, scoop them.
In a small pan, combine sugar, lime juice, and mint leaves. Simmer until slightly syrupy, then combine in a bowl with melon and cucumber.

Serve chilled in hollowed-out watermelon shells.

I can't decide if this sounds delicious or horrifying...

I think using a half that amount of lime juice with a bit of honey and fresh chopped mint would balance more with the clean, mild flavors.

This sounds wonderful! I wonder if something could be substituted for the cucumber, since Lee hates cucumbers. Thoughts?

I think pear with watermelon or mango with honeydew melon and fresh mint instead of in the simple syrup.
