Strawberry, Watermelon & Feta Salad
When the sun is beating down, the humidity is high and it's too darn hot to cook, there’s only one thing to do (apart from sticking your face into the freezer for minutes on end)... Make this watermelon salad! It’s refreshingly cool, hydrating and just delicious. Take it to a BBQ, or make it alongside some cooked chicken or fish. If you’re a watermelon lover, this will be your new fave way to eat it.
It’s best to make the salad the day you want to eat it, I wouldn’t suggest making it the day before.
