Watermelon Feta Salad | How to make Watermelon Feta Salad at Home | Summer Special Recipe | Gluten Free and Vegan Recipe

Hi Supermoms,

The best thing I like about the Indian Summer is my natural craving to enjoy fruits. Fruit and Vegetable Salads keeps you light, hydrated and active through out the day. Watermelons are available in plenty and today I made this popular , simple and  tasty 'Watermelon Feta Salad'. If you are not able to get Feta cheese in your local grocery store, you can soak cottage cheese/paneer in a cup of water with half teaspoon of salt overnight in the refrigerator. The taste of the soaked cottage cheese justifies that of Feta. I have also added garden fresh herbs like basil, oregano, thyme , mint to naturally season the salad.
