Notes

  • Watermelon: Fresh watermelon is key.
  • Cucumber: I've used everything from Persian cucumbers to English cucumbers to cucumbers.
  • Feta: I like to use blocks of feta, rather than the crumbles. I've found that the blocks tend to have better flavor.
  • Honey: The honey adds a nice bit of sweetness that contrasts nicely with the feta. Feel free to adjust the amount to your tastes.
