Watermelon Cucumber Salad Recipe
I first tried watermelon cucumber salad while on a trip with six of my girlfriends years ago. All seven of us swooned over the savory, sweet, juicy, and fresh combination, and I've been whipping this up every watermelon season since! Let me show you how to easily recreate this summery salad at home.

Notes
- Note 1: A mandolin works best to slice the onion thinly.
- Note 2: If you don't have feta, goat cheese also tastes great in this salad.
- Note 3: If you're a fan of cilantro, add a handful to switch up the flavors.
