- 6 oz Feta Cheese

Expert Tips:
- To make your life a little easier, seedless watermelons work best. If unavailable, you can buy a conventional melon and remove the seeds while cutting it into cubes.
- For the best taste and consistency, make sure your watermelon is chilled prior to assembly.
- Goat or sheep milk's feta is preferred for this watermelon salad. I also recommend that you buy blocks and crumble it yourself rather than purchasing pre-crumbled cheese.
