Food and Recipes Fruits Melon Watermelon Watermelon Feta Salad Is Bursting With Fresh Flavor 4.5 (2) 1 Review Salty, sweet, and refreshing, watermelon feta salad is a must-eat dish throughout the summer. When you've enjoyed all the fresh watermelon wedges you can, turn the water-rich fruit into a spectacular side dish with feta cheese and an easy dressing. The mint adds brightness, making sure the watermelon's sweetness isn't lost entirely. We also like the raw onion a for a little bite and texture.
