- 1 large cucumber, sliced into ½-inch rounds
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Wash the watermelon and cucumber thoroughly to remove any dirt or residues. Cut the watermelon into small, bite-sized cubes and slice the cucumber into ½-inch thick rounds to serve as the base of the cups.
