Summer salad with watermelon, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and mint is a true celebration of freshness and flavor contrasts. This dish was born as a light and refreshing alternative to traditional salads, perfect for summer days.

Watercress adds a slight spiciness while fresh mint refreshes and makes the dish even more summery. The dressing of olive oil and balsamic vinegar highlights the natural aromas of the ingredients. This salad is not only tasty and refreshing but also versatile: it works perfectly as a light standalone dish, a side for grilled meat, or an addition to a summer picnic.
