Halve the red onion, cut into very fine slices and place in a bowl. Add the lemon/lime juice and set aside for 15 minutes. Remove the rind and pips from the watermelon and cut into chunks. Cut the feta into similar sized pieces and put them into a large bowl. Roughly tear the herbs and add the onions along with their pink juices. Add the oil and olives, and toss the salad gently. Season with a good grinding of black pepper and refrigerate until required.
