This salad is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use fresh watermelon or frozen watermelon cubes, depending on what I have on hand.

I made this salad for my family last night and it was a big hit! Everyone loved the sweet and salty combination of the watermelon and feta. The flag design was also a nice touch.
