Watermelon Feta Salad

Ingredients

  • fresh watermelon, diced small
  • goat's-milk or sheep’s-milk feta block, crumbled
  • avocado, diced small
  • cucumber, diced small

Directions

  1. Combine all
  2. Chill
  3. Serve

Notes
What you really want to look for is goat's-milk or sheep’s-milk feta, whether domestic or imported from Greece or Bulgaria, which should have a much creamier texture and a flavor that balances saltiness with the characteristic funk of sheep’s milk.
