Try an easy watermelon feta salad with sweet rippled strawberries, peppery arugula, and crisp cucumber for a delicious summer recipe. Top it with a delightful sweet lime and honey dressing, and you'll want to eat this on repeat!
This watermelon salad is a versatile summer dish. It's perfect for family BBQs and picnics or as a refreshing starter with freshly baked bread. Feel free to add red onion for an extra kick, or swap the dressing for balsamic glaze and olive oil.
For a special twist, I've used a heart-shaped cookie cutter to shape the ingredients (if you don't have one, you can chop them up). This salad is a cute recipe for surprising someone you love on special occasions like Valentine's Day, Father's Day, or Mother's Day!
