Watermelon Salad

20 minutes
Watermelon salad is an amazing combination of freshness and spiciness from sunny Italy. Light yet rich, it combines the sweetness of watermelon with the saltiness of feta, while spinach adds a delicate green freshness. Historically, Italians are known for their ability to combine unusual ingredients to create vibrant flavors. The dressing with wine, chili, and marjoram adds spice and sophistication, creating a harmonious balance of sweet and spicy. Almond flakes complete the composition with a crunchy texture. This salad is perfect for summer dinners, picnics, or as an exquisite appetizer before the main course.
