Notes
- Use a ripe, sweet watermelon for the best flavor and natural juiciness.
- Keep the watermelon and cucumber chilled before assembling for a more refreshing salad.
- Cut cucumber and watermelon into similar-sized cubes for better balance in every bite.
- Add feta just before serving to prevent it from breaking down or becoming watery.
- Whisk the dressing well so the honey fully blends with the lime juice and oil.
- Taste before adding extra salt, as feta already brings natural saltiness.
- This salad is best enjoyed immediately after mixing for maximum freshness and texture.
