- Honey lime dressing: If you want to omit the olive oil from the dressing, that’s fine. Just add an extra tablespoon of fresh lime juice.
- Prep ahead:
- Dice watermelon and crumble the feta 1-2 days in advance. Store cubed watermelon in a large container so it doesn't get squished.
- Make the honey lime dressing 2-3 days in advance.
- Fresh herbs should be sliced right before serving.
- When ready to serve, toss everything with the dressing.
- Add-ons: Arugula, blackberries, cucumber, strawberries, red onions (raw or pickled), pistachios.
