Cut the watermelon into 2.5-3 cm cubes. Using a spoon or a melon baller, scoop out some of the flesh from the cubes to create small indentations. Finely chop or dice the white parts of 1-2 leeks. Finely dice or chop the cucumber. Finely chop the chives and finely strip the mint. Mix everything well in a small bowl with a little lime juice and spread it over the melon pieces. If you like, sprinkle a little coarse salt over the cucumber mixture just before serving. Leeks can be replaced with some chopped red onion.
