Naturally sweet, refreshing melon is excellent with the saltiness of feta, the crunch of the almonds, and the fragrance of fresh mint. It may seem like a strange pairing until you taste it and then (hopefully) it makes sense.
The instructions in this recipe are for a small to medium watermelon. If you are using a large watermelon, increase the ingredients by 50 percent and cut the melon into 6 wedges instead of 4.
