- Drizzle the dressing over the watermelon salad and toss to coat.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- Choose the right watermelon: For the best results, choose a watermelon that's ripe, juicy, and sweet. It should be heavy for its size, uniform in shape, and have a dull (not shiny) rind.
- Prep ahead: You can cut the watermelon into cubes a day ahead and store them in the fridge to save prep time on the day of serving.
- Quality of ingredients: Use high-quality feta cheese as it pairs well with the sweetness of the watermelon. Fresh mint leaves add a refreshing flavor, don't skip it!
- Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it's made to prevent it from becoming too watery. If you're planning to serve it later, add the dressing just before serving.
- Variations: Feel free to toss in some olives, or even some thinly sliced red onions for an extra crunch and flavor.
- Customize your dressing: The dressing for this salad is quite flexible. If you prefer a sweeter dressing, add a bit more honey. For a tangier taste, add more lime juice. Always taste and adjust to your preference!
