"This dainty salad is a gorgeous, refreshing snack, light meal or post-meal enjoyment that will provide instant refreshment as well as a welcomed hit of hydration and nutrients. Watermelons are mostly water — about 92 percent — but every juicy bite has significant levels of vitamins A, B6 and C, as well as lycopene and beauty-boosting antioxidants that help keep your complexion glowing all summer long...

I've been eating quite a bit of watermelon just lately, it's my favourite type of melon, so refreshing.
What a fun recipe!
I love all the ingredients and I love watermelon so much. This looks delicious.
We make a salad something like this....not exactly the same but similar, and it is delicious, especially on a hot summer's day. Also try watermelon juice as a drink, even add a little vodka. Yummy!!!
What a great recipe, perfect for summer!
I was surprised the first time I was served a watermelon salad. I loved it and now make several different ones. I'll add this one to my list.

What a fun idea, to put your salad in a tea cup...
Doesn't this sound refreshing.
Have a good one, Jan.
Watermelon, mint and feta sound like a winning combination. Serving it in a teacup just adds to the delight. I can hardly wait for seasonal melons to come! thanks for sharing.
