  3. Finish and Serve: Top the watermelon salad with the dressing and gently toss to combine. Top with the feta cheese and serve!
  4. Shallots or red onions: Thinly sliced shallots will add a little punch and an extra pop of color.

  6. Hot peppers: You can slice up some jalapeño rings for added crunch and heat.
