Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Watermelon & Feta Salad

Choose ripe watermelon: Select a watermelon that sounds hollow when thumped and feels heavy for its size.
Don't overdress: Add the dressing just before serving to prevent the watermelon from becoming watery.
Vary the herbs: Experiment with other fresh herbs like basil or dill for a different flavor profile.
Add crunch: For added texture, consider adding toasted nuts or seeds, such as pepitas or slivered almonds.
