I recently had a get together for a girls’ night with my girlfriends I have known since the sixth grade, a summer soiree if you call it that. I made a most delicious grilled spatchcocked Peri Peri Chicken and my friend Leisy brought this incredible watermelon feta salad. I asked her for the recipe and here it is, recreated and I am in love with how fresh it is. Full disclosure here…how addicting it is too! This watermelon salad is so easy to make and is sure to make the perfect summer entertaining show-stopper salad! Enjoy!
