Watermelon and Cucumber Salad with Feta

This salad combines fresh watermelon and crunchy cucumber slices, tossed together to create a crisp, juicy mixture. It features crumbled feta cheese that slightly melts into the fruit and vegetable, resulting in a refreshing, texturally varied dish with a sweet, salty, and mildly creamy profile. No dressing is necessary, allowing the natural flavors to shine through.
