Notes

  1. Don't make this salad in advance as the watermelon will release a lot of juice and won't taste fresh and crunchy after a few hours.
  2. You can also add fresh basil leaves to this salad.
  3. For a sweeter taste, drizzle some honey, maple syrup, or any other sweetener of your choice.
  4. You can also add pitted kalamata olives to this watermelon salad.
  5. Adding cucumber and onion is optional. Just watermelon and feta with mint leaves taste great too.
  6. More detailed recipe tips and tricks are given in the post above. Please refer them to make this recipe.
