I’ve been eating this Watermelon Salad since Summer 2022, when an article revealed that a variation of this salad was a favourite of Kate Middleton’s. Apparently, she loved this salad during a heat wave as it’s both refreshing and nutritious. I made a vegan version with cucumber, red onion, mint, vegan feta with a tangy lime dressing, and I can confirm, it is absolutely delicious. It’s now a firm favourite of mine, perfect for warmer days and great for hosting.
