Notes
- You can either cube the feta or crumble it to make this salad. Use more feta if you like the salad saltier.
- Make sure the watermelon cubes are small enough to serve.
- It's best to finish this salad the same day because both cucumber and watermelon have high water content. However, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- To jazz up your watermelon salad, add other vegetables such as avocados or red onion.
