I love fruit salads in the summer. This Watermelon Feta Salad is a mixture of various fruits, cucumbers, onions, cheese and a heavenly honey lime dressing. The different flavors really play off of one another perfectly. This is a great salad to serve to guests, have as a fresh side to a meal, or just because! If you are looking for that one special salad to make this summer, you absolutely must try this Watermelon Feta Salad!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Absolutely! This salad is easily customizable. The tang of the feta cheese really adds a nice balance to this salad but you could use another crumbly cheese like goat cheese or queso fresco.
This salad will keep fresh (without the dressing) for 2 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Only add dressing before serving.
I have made this with raspberries, strawberries and blackberries and it really adds a fun twist to this recipe.
