Prepare the ingredients: Cube or ball the watermelon and chill if desired. Crumble or cube the feta. Slice mint into thin ribbons. Optional: soak onion slices in cold water for 5 minutes to soften their bite.
Mix the dressing: Whisk together olive oil, lime/lemon juice, honey (if using), and black pepper in a small bowl or jar.
Assemble the salad: On a large platter or in a salad bowl, combine the watermelon, feta, red onion, and mint.
Dress and toss: Drizzle with dressing and gently toss just before serving to avoid crushing the watermelon.
Serve fresh: Best served chilled or at room temperature within an hour of assembling.
