Why this recipe works

  • Serve it ice cold. Temperature contrast is half the magic — cold sweet watermelon against salty creamy feta.
  • Tear the mint instead of chopping it. Chopping bruises the leaves and they oxidize dark; torn leaves stay bright.
  • Crumble the feta over the top at the last minute. Mixed in early, it dissolves into the watermelon juice.
