Frequently asked questions
How long does watermelon last? Cut watermelon will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, but definitely tastes better the first day or two. The salad will keep for only 3-4 days and is best if you store it without the feta (add that right before serving). What to serve with watermelon salad? I like to serve this at barbecues or summer potlucks alongside veggie burgers, pulled bbq jackfruit sandwiches, vegan wings, vegan ribs, or kebabs.Can I add anything else to the salad? You can! Some good options are diced cucumbers, sliced red onions or use a mix of strawberries, blueberries and watermelon. Serve on a bed of arugula with avocado for a more filling salad.
