Simple and Healthy Summer Recipe Watermelon Feta Salad

Some girls are happy to get flowers. I get psyched about a good watermelon. If I have my druthers, preferably a sugar baby, but I'm not trying to be high maintenance here. There is nothing more summery to me than getting a road side stand watermelon, cutting it open and being able to smell it from across the house. Have you ever tried watermelon at a conference hotel breakfast in February? Yeah... 

So while you actually have access to a fantastic watermelon, buy as many as you can and eat them daily. Our favorite side dish du jour right now is this salad: healthy, crisp, summery watermelon, feta and jalapeño in a light dressing. It's sweet, acidic, salty, crisp all in one dish. Which makes it perfect. This is the perfect high volume, low calorie dish for a party. Or for yourself. #RealTalk

It's hydrating, full of fiber..there's cheese. What's not to love?
