💭 Recipe Tips:

• Use Seedless Watermelon: For convenience and ease of eating, use seedless watermelon or remove the seeds before cubing.
• Adjust Sweetness and Acidity: If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a drizzle of honey. For more acidity, add a bit more lemon juice or balsamic vinegar.
• Red Onion Preparation: Soak the thinly sliced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes before adding to the salad. This reduces the onion’s sharpness and makes it milder.
• Balance the Flavors: Taste the salad before adding salt, as the feta cheese is already salty. Adjust seasoning as needed.
