Watermelon salad is a beautiful touch for the table this summer. It comes together really fast, it is full of fresh flavors, and it’s healthy + beautiful. The cotija cheese was a delicious combo with the watermelon. You can switch it up with feta or mozzarella but we were having Mexican food so we stuck with the theme.
