Watermelon Salad

Jump to Recipe

FUN FACT: The first recorded watermelon harvest occurred nearly 5,000 years ago in Egypt and is depicted in Egyptian hieroglyphics on the walls of their ancient buildings!

This watermelon salad isn’t the typical feta and watermelon combo (even though it’s a delicious combo nonetheless!). This is my own personal twist on a refreshing watermelon salad that you can enjoy during the hot months of the summer!

I didn’t include exact measurements in the recipe as this can be altered in any way you please. You can add the amount you want according to your desire. The dressing is accommodating to a large amount!
