Instructions

Whip the feta. Add the feta, Greek yogurt and olive oil to a food processor. Purée for 2 to 3 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed, until the feta is silky smooth.
Toss the watermelon salad. Add the watermelon, cucumber and red onion to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle evenly with the lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss very briefly to combine.
Assemble. Spread the whipped feta out evenly on a serving plate. Top with the watermelon, cucumber and red onion, and sprinkle evenly with the chopped fresh mint and a few twists of black pepper.
Serve. Serve immediately and enjoy!
