Watermelon Salad With Feta And Mint

Nothing starts a summer meal better than this Watermelon Salad with Feta and Mint!  It’s surprising, refreshing and scrumptious! I love how the black olives tease you to look like seeds but of course, you use a seedless watermelon. The olives are a delicious burst of salty goodness in contrast to the sweet watermelon, and the mint really makes the flavors pop! My recommendation is to make this salad now, while the watermelons are ripe, sweet and juicy. Enjoy!
