Continue adding the oil, lime juice, salt and pepper, stirring between each addition, until the mixture is seasoned.

Remarks:
1. To make ahead, combine all ingredients except watermelon, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Can be prepared up to 4 hours in advance and refrigerated.
2. Even if serving right away, the combined ingredients except the watermelon, dressing/Seasonings and feta can be stored in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to improve the freshness factor. But this step is optional.
