Watermelon and Feta Salad

Watermelon and Feta Salad

I made up this salad one day when I bought a watermelon on special and didn’t know what to do with it. It sounds unusual but it really works…
It’s great as a fresh starter or as an accompaniment to grilled fish or even a hot spicy curry to act as a cooler.
