# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes 15 minutes from start to finish and requires zero cooking
  • The sweet and salty combination is addictive and refreshing
  • Perfect for hot days when you cannot bear to turn on the stove
02 -
  • This salad does not keep well once dressed. The watermelon releases liquid and the mint wilts quickly, so make it right before you plan to serve it.
  • Wait until the last minute to add the feta if you are meal prepping. The cheese will become rubbery if it sits in the acidic dressing for too long.
03 -
  • Buy an extra half watermelon. You will want to snack on the cubes while you prep and guaranteed someone will ask for seconds.
  • If your watermelon is not perfectly sweet, add a tiny extra pinch of salt to boost the remaining sweetness.
