Sadly, this watermelon salad had mixed reviews. My Grand-daughters were the most critical... I saw a tomatoe pop out, and my youngest wanted to know why there was juice on her watermelon... The adults (all 7 of us agreed the Feta Cheese, the cool watermelon mixed with the salad was wonderful... the vinaigrette on the other hand entirely too sweet... I will keep looking.. thank you
