- * 1 teaspoon honey
- * 1/4 teaspoon salt

Notes
* Use seedless watermelon for the easiest preparation.
* Swap feta with goat cheese for a creamier variation.
* Add arugula for a peppery salad base.
* Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
* This salad is best served fresh because watermelon releases juice over time.
* For make-ahead prep, chop the ingredients and store the dressing separately until serving. ## Nutrition Nutrition information is estimated per serving. * Calories: 165
