This looks so good! I never used to like watermelon in my food but then I tried a watermelon feta salad and fell in love. Will definitely have to try this one 🙂

This was amazing! The only tweak from the recipe for me was that I did the salmon on a charcoal grill. Left skin side down for 7-10 minutes over tin foil with olive oil. Came out amazing.
This was so delicious! Quick, easy and healthy. Just how I like my dinner. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.
