This recipe is missing some key ingredients. It doesn't say how much watermelon or feta to use.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad didn't turn out very good. The flavors just didn't seem to come together.

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

I made this salad for a potluck and it was a hit! Everyone loved the unique flavor combination. The serrano chile vinaigrette was a bit spicy for some people, but I thought it was perfect.

This watermelon salad was a refreshing and delicious summer dish! The combination of sweet watermelon, salty feta, peppery arugula, and spicy serrano chile vinaigrette was perfect. I especially loved the pop of flavor from the serrano chile vinaigret
