Notes

For the best texture, use chilled watermelon and keep the fruit pieces bite-size so the salad stays juicy but not watery. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 1 day; the basil and mint flavor softens after that. Freezing is not recommended. For a lower-sodium option, use reduced-salt feta or omit the sea salt adjustment to suit your preference.
