First Course – Watermelon, Feta, and Lime Salad

Here’s a beautiful and refreshing recipe perfect for summer terraces! It’s one of my favourites, and it’s a huge success every time I prepare it for friends! It may seem weird that the main ingredient is watermelon, but rest assured, with all the added ingredients, it’s a perfectly balanced salad that’s salty, sweet, and bitter all at the same time.
