Chopped Vegetable, Watermelon, and Feta Salad!

There’s something endlessly exciting about a salad that surprises you — one that looks simple on the surface but bursts with layers of flavor in every bite. This chopped vegetable, watermelon, and feta salad is exactly that kind of dish. Inspired by a Bon Appétit classic, it brings together juicy cubes of watermelon, crunchy cucumbers and peppers, peppery radishes, and sweet tomatoes, then finishes with salty feta and a cool, herby dressing.

What makes this salad stand out is its balance. The sweetness of watermelon softens the sharpness of the vegetables, while the creamy Greek yogurt–mint dressing adds richness without weighing the dish down. It’s refreshing, light, and just complex enough to feel special without requiring hours in the kitchen.

Perfect for summer dinners, backyard barbecues, or picnic baskets, this salad proves that fruit and vegetables can happily share the same bowl. Serve it as a side dish or enjoy it on its own — either way, it’s a crowd-pleaser.
