# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Its the perfect solution when you want something impressive but absolutely refuse to cook
  • The combination of sweet watermelon and salty feta hits every craving at once
  • It comes together in literally fifteen minutes but looks like you tried all day
02 -
  • Watermelon releases a lot of liquid once dressed, so serve this within thirty minutes or it turns into soup
  • The onion can be intense for some people, so soak the slices in ice water for ten minutes if you are serving onion-averse guests
  • Room temperature watermelon works but chilled fruit makes this salad exponentially more refreshing
03 -
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the watermelon and it will glide through without crushing the delicate flesh
  • Let the dressed salad sit for exactly five minutes before serving to let the flavors make friends
