Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the watermelon and cucumber into small, bite-sized pieces. This will help the salad to be more evenly mixed and easier to eat.
  • If you don't have time to chill the salad before serving, you can add a few ice cubes to the bowl. This will help to keep the salad cold and refreshing.
  • For a more flavorful salad, use a combination of red and yellow onions. The red onions will add a bit of spice, while the yellow onions will add a touch of sweetness.
  • If you're looking for a vegan option, you can substitute olive oil or avocado oil for the feta cheese.

Conclusion:

This watermelon cherry tomato red onion and cucumber salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings.
