For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese just before serving. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a touch more sugar to the vinaigrette, adjusting to your taste. Fresh mint or basil, finely chopped, can be added for a brighter, herbaceous note. Make sure the watermelon is well-chilled for the best refreshing experience. This salad is best enjoyed within a few hours of preparation to prevent the watermelon from becoming too soggy.
