A delightful and refreshing salad combining the sweetness of watermelon with the tanginess of feta cheese, perfect for summer gatherings.
Slice the red onion thinly and place it in a small bowl.
Soaking the onion in cold water can reduce its sharpness if desired.
Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large serving bowl.
Use a seedless watermelon for convenience and better texture.
Add the crumbled feta cheese, sliced cucumber, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the watermelon.
Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar to create the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the vinegar or lime juice to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the watermelon cubes.
Serve the salad immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
This salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the watermelon can release water over time.
