Cut the watermelon into approximately 1-inch cubes, removing any seeds if necessary, and place the cubes in a large bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese over the watermelon cubes.
Roughly chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the watermelon and feta.
Thinly slice the red onion and add the slices to the salad bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to combine. Be careful not to crush the watermelon cubes.
Serve immediately as a light appetizer or side dish. Optionally, garnish with a few additional mint leaves for presentation.
