There's more than one way to enjoy the classic sweet flavor of fresh watermelon besides eating it right off the rind. This watermelon feta salad is a light and refreshing complement to any summer meal, no matter if it's for a cookout, potluck, or regular weeknight dinner. Combine sweet, salty, bright, and peppery flavors in this simple, 1-bowl side dish. Pick up a watermelon while they're in season and make the salad ahead of time so the watermelon can fully soak up the dressing. There's nothing better than a plate of this chilled salad on a hot summer day, so keep it in the fridge until it's ready to serve. It's safe to say this easy salad will become a summertime staple in your house.

Wow! This was fantastically refreshing for a summer salad! I serve it with chicken wings and sweet potato air fry’s.
I notice that in the ingredients it said 1/2 cup of Red wine vinegar and in instructions it said 1/4 cup. I only use 1/4 of cup and it was the right Measurement. And I also use the Feta with tomato and basil. I will definitely make This again and already been ask to share the recipe.
