I made this salad a couple of days ago, first bowl was nice and refreshing though somewhat bland, leftovers sat for 2 days in the dressing. With "marinating" the sweet fruit, the salty feta and the tang of the lime all infused into the melons and and gave it a wonderful zing. Delicious ! Thanks for the recipe, Dienia ! Made during ZWT9 for team Tasty Testers :)

I wish I'd found this recipe a few days ago, when this heatwave started - we'd be eating it 24/7! So good. The salty, sweet of feta and fruit is classic. Love the dressing.

This made a colorful side to our Mediterranean supper tonight, a nice match to the lamb dish in both color and flavor. We have another favorite watermelon salad using ginger, cilantro and lime; this is of the same general character but the mint and feta takes it in a different direction. Could be served as an appetizer, side, or dessert and nobody would question it. Made for Zaar World Tour 9.

This is a great salad to take to a BBQ, especially when you don't want to worry about food going bad in the heat. I love the combination of feta and melon, the play of salty with sweet really makes this special. Made for ZWT9

Wow, another winner by Dienia B. I really enjoyed this cool and refreshing salad. It was the perfect accompaniment to the BBQ burgers we had for dinner. The salad was wonderful, fresh, sweet, tart, tangy, nutty with a hint of mint, simply perfect. It had all my favorite ingredients in it, I knew it was tailor made for me. Thanks so much for sharing.
