Notes
If you want to omit the olive oil from the dressing, that’s fine. Just add an extra tablespoon of fresh lime juice. Prep ahead: Dice watermelon and crumble the feta 1-2 days in advance. Store cubed watermelon in a large container so it doesn’t get squished. Make the honey lime dressing 2-3 days in advance. Fresh herbs should be sliced right before serving. When ready to serve, toss everything with the dressing. Add-ons: Arugula, blackberries, cucumber, strawberries, red onions (raw or pickled), pistachios.
