Ingredients

1 small seedless watermelon (about 2-3 pounds)

Cut watermelon flesh into 1-inch cubes, removing seeds as needed. Place in individual serving bowls.

In a small food processor, combine ½ cup of the mint leaves and the sugar. Process until well blended and the mint leaves are chopped. Add the vinegar, lime juice and process again until mixed. Add the olive oil and process again until well blended. Pour dressing into a small pitcher and add a pinch each of salt and pepper to taste, stirring with a spoon to combine.
