For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts or a drizzle of balsamic glaze. The quality of the ingredients truly shines in this simple salad. Opt for a high-quality extra virgin olive oil and creamy, authentic feta cheese. This salad is best enjoyed immediately after assembly to prevent the watermelon from becoming soggy. Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as basil or dill, to customize the flavor profile to your liking. To elevate the presentation, consider using a melon baller to create uniform watermelon spheres.
