WATERMELON MINT SALAD RECIPE

 FETA, WATERMELON, CUCUMBER AND MINT SALAD
Unusual as this salad sounds, it really works because of the pairing of salty feta with sweet watermelon. In Greece, where it originates, they’ll often throw in some black olives too but I like the crunch you get from the toasted pecans. Don’t make this salad ahead or the salty cheese and nuts will draw the moisture out of the watermelon, making them all soggy.
