📝 Ingredients (Serves 2-3)

👩‍🍳 How to Make Watermelon Feta Salad

1️⃣ Prepare the Watermelon – Remove the rind, cut into bite-sized cubes, deseed each cube and add to a large bowl.
2️⃣ Drizzle with Dressing – Add balsamic vinegar (or lemon juice) and extra-virgin olive oil (optional, you can skip if you don’t have).
3️⃣ Add the Feta Cheese – Crumble it over the watermelon.
4️⃣ Season & Toss – Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then toss gently. (The Feta Cheese I use is on the saltier side, so I don’t add extra salt to this. You can choose to avoid Salt too.)
