Reviews
I was so excited to try this recipe with a smoked brisket and my sweet potato grits….the final finishing touch was the salad! I did increase the chili (red jalapeño) but everyone gave two thumbs up. Love the show and recipes!
Perfect summer salad. I grilled the watermelon just to get some car marks on. Was the perfect complement with Michael Symon’s gyro burgers.
This salad is outstanding, a perfect side to your summer BBQue
Delicious and easy to make.
Love this with the heat of the pepper and the garlic. Much more interesting than many of the watermelon feta salads out there. I subbed half lemon and half lime juice for the vinegar for a lighter, fruitier taste.
As always delightful the perfect summer salad
Light and refreshing

Delicious and totally addictive!:)
Loved this recipe. I used Symon’s suggestions. I didn’t have fresh mint so I used fresh basil and didn’t have a jalapeno pepper, so I used red pepper flakes. Awesome flavor’s!
