Notes
- Chill Ingredients: Use cold watermelon, cucumber, and strawberries for the most refreshing flavor and texture.
- Dress Just Before Serving: To avoid sogginess, add the lime-honey dressing right before serving, especially if prepping in advance.
- Balance the Flavors: Add a pinch of salt or a light drizzle of balsamic glaze to enhance contrast between the sweet fruit and salty feta.
- Optional Add-Ins: Mix in extras like avocado, arugula, toasted nuts (pecans, almonds, walnuts), or sliced jalapeño for added texture and flavor.
- Serving a Crowd: Double the ingredients and serve on a large platter for a colorful, crowd-pleasing summer side dish.
- Gentle Tossing: Be careful not to over mix after adding the dressing, this keeps the fruit intact and prevents the salad from becoming watery.
