Summer Salad with Feta image

This is a modified Greek salad, one I tend to make pretty much nightly during the summer, when I always have these ingredients on hand.

I'm not a huge fan of watermelon, but I really enjoyed this salad. The feta and dressing really balanced out the sweetness of the watermelon.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a different dressing.

This salad is so refreshing and perfect for summer. I love the combination of the sweet watermelon, salty feta, and tangy dressing. It's also really easy to make, which is a bonus.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this salad. I'm not usually a fan of feta, but it really worked in this dish. The dressing was also really good - I could definitely see myself using it on other salads.

This salad was a huge hit at my last BBQ! The flavors were bright and fresh, and the feta added a nice salty tang. I loved that it was so easy to make, too. I'll definitely be making this again soon!
