Watermelon Salad with Cucumber and cheese is an easy to make, refreshing salad to make this summer! Salty, sweet and perfect alongside your favorite grilled protein!
A couple weeks ago I decided it was about time I bought a watermelon. I’m always hesitant when I buy one because they’re so big and it’s just my husband and I here to eat it. Not to mention, if it’s not good I feel wasteful having to trash it.
This salad is super refreshing and a perfect salad to serve this summer. It’s salty, sweet, zippy and herbaceous in flavor and I couldn’t be more in love. If you’ve never tried watermelon and cheese together I highly recommend it, especially if you’re a fan of salty sweet food combinations.
