This salad is my new favorite summer dish. Ever since I tested this recipe I have made it consistently 2x a week. I have created it for my meat eater athletes, for my hungry husband, for my in-laws at a pool party and for my Persian family. Everyone seems to be hesitant when trying it but then goes in for seconds. The lime juices gives it an acidic tang while the feta brings out some salty flavor. The watermelon is also so juicy and sweet that it all balances each other out. I highly recommend trying this recipe & letting me know what you think!

I also created a quick TikTok video on how to make this salad step by step! Watch here
