Jazz up your salads with this refreshing watermelon and feta salad with prawns! So easy to put together and makes a beautiful and healthy centerpiece to any dining table.
Not a fan of prawns? You can make this vegetarian and skip it, and add other fruit or veggies like avocados, cucumbers, peaches or even strawberries. Just don’t skip the feta as it gives that balance from all the sweetness of the fruits. I also added a touch of mint, just because it elevates the freshness to the nth level!
The dressing is very simple and is a mix of balsamic vinegar, a good-quality extra virgin olive oil, pure honey, salt and pepper. You can make-ahead the dressing by tripling the amount and storing it in a mason jar in your fridge.
