Notes
For the ultimate refreshment, ensure your watermelon is well-chilled before you begin. This will make the finished salad even more invigorating, especially on a hot day.
Watermelon can be delicate. Toss the salad with a light hand to prevent the cubes from breaking down too much and becoming mushy.
Always taste your salad before serving. You might want a little more lime juice for tanginess, a bit more salt to enhance the flavors, or extra mint for a stronger herbaceous note.
Start with the amount of dressing specified. You can always add more, but you can’t take it away. A light coating is usually best to let the natural flavors of the watermelon and feta shine.
