Light and Refreshing Watermelon, Feta, and Mint Salad

This light and refreshing salad is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. The sweet watermelon, salty feta, and minty freshness are a perfect combination. It's also incredibly easy to make, just toss everything together and you're done.

I first had this salad at a friend's summer party. It was so good that I asked for the recipe, and she was kind enough to share it with me. I've been making it ever since, and it's always a hit. I've even started experimenting with different variations, like adding grilled halloumi or roasted chickpeas. But the original recipe is still my favorite. It's simple, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser.
