This Chili Lime Watermelon Feta Salad recipe is the perfect no-cook side dish for any warm weather meal.

This recipe is a little...different. Different in the sense that it combines a few flavors that shouldn't go together, but oddly work in perfect unison. It utilizes the recipe for my chili lime vinaigrette to make a spiced (up your life) version of a classic summer salad. I added avocado to tie the two worlds together, and that's how they became the Brady bunch.
Ingredients
- cubed watermelon
- diced avocado
- cubed feta cheese
- chili lime vinaigrette
Instructions
Combine 8 cups of cubed watermelon, 1 diced avocado, and 8 ounces of cubed feta cheese in a large bowl.

Add full recipe of chili lime vinaigrette and toss to combine. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Refrigerate covered for up to a day.
Hint: It is best to add avocado when ready to serve to avoid browning. Leftovers may not have the best quality if avocado is included.
Pro Tips
- Use a larger bowl than you think you'll need. It makes it easier to toss without spilling.
- If storing in the fridge, omit the avocado until ready to serve for best texture and quality.
- Add a bit of an extra kick with a dash of cayenne pepper.

If prepared as-is, it is best to enjoy the day of. If omitting the avocado, it can be refrigerated for up to a day for best qualityl
