Cucumber, Melon and Watermelon Salad image

Watermelon and feta has been in vogue for some time (and forever in Greece). I decided to throw in some of my endless supply of cucumbers and mix it up with the melons. I cut the melon and cucumber into medium-size dice (1/2 to 3/4 inch), but you can also make this more like a salsa and cut the produce into fine dice.

I followed the recipe exactly and my salad turned out bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover watermelon. I always have watermelon left over after a party, and this is a great way to use it up.
