Chef's notes
This watermelon feta salad is a great one to play with. Here are some of my favorite ways to change it up
Don’t like spice? Skip the chile. The salad will still be delicious.
Add a little crunch with a handful of toasted walnuts or cashews.
Make this salad a full meal by serving it on a bed of arugula with some quinoa mixed in.
Or change up the fruit and substitute strawberries for the watermelon.
