  1. Cut the watermelon into chunks, removing the peel and seeds. Do this over a bowl to catch the juice and set the juice aside.
  2. Put the salad leaves in a bowl or on a serving platter and add the watermelon, avocados, radishes and feta.
  3. Whisk together any watermelon juice with the lime juice and olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Drizzle this dressing over the salad and garnish with a few sprigs of mint.
