Why I love this Watermelon Feta Salad
This salad couldn’t be easier and looks so fancy! The watermelon is so juicy that the salad doesn’t even need dressing. I used a melon baller to cut the watermelon into small balls, but you can also cut it into small cubes. I love how the sweet and salty flavors complement each other. The freshness of the watermelon pairs perfectly with the saltiness of the feta cheese, and the fresh mint adds the perfect finish.
