To bring some sunshine into my life I love making this watermelon salad. This is a recipe that I must have started making in the USA. It’s so common to buy a big watermelon and eat delicious quarters when the heat waves are here. This is what we did with my husband. I tried to add other ingredients with the watermelon to make something good and the result was this salad! I love feta and I love adding it a lot of my recipes so why not in this salad? The crunchy side of the cucumber is also a real plus.

Watermelon: how to make watermelon salad without watermelon? This is of course the star ingredient of this recipe. Choose the ripe one for more flavor.
Cucumber: I find that it gives a crunchy touch to the salad
