Watermelon and Feta Salad
Looking to bring something unexpected to your summer table? This watermelon and feta salad puts a bold twist on the usual fruit plate. Instead of tossing it all together, try laying it out checkerboard-style—alternating cubes of juicy watermelon and creamy feta for a presentation that’s as striking as it is delicious.
The sweet-salty combo is a summertime classic, but this layout elevates it. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of fresh mint, and cracked black pepper. You can even add thinly sliced cucumber or a splash of balsamic glaze if you want to play with layers of flavor.
This dish is all about contrast: color, texture, and taste. It’s simple, but it stops people in their tracks—and it proves that with a little creativity, even the most familiar ingredients can feel brand new. Perfect for cookouts, brunches, or any summer gathering where you want to surprise and delight.
