Notes

  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. However, it’s best enjoyed fresh.
  • Freezing: Freezing is not recommended due to the high water content in watermelon, which can affect the texture.
  • Pairing: This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken or fish, making it an excellent addition to a summer feast.
  • Try different cheeses: If you're not a fan of feta, try goat cheese or even a sharp cheddar for added flavor.
  • Add nuts: For a crunchy texture, consider adding sliced almonds or walnuts.
  • Explore flavors: A sprinkle of chili powder can add a fun twist, balancing the sweetness with some heat.
