This salad was a waste of time. The watermelon was tasteless and the tomatoes were mushy. I won't be making this again.

This salad was okay, but I've had better. I think I'll stick to my regular tomato salad recipe.

This salad was a bit bland. I think I'll try it again with some chopped red onion and a balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less watermelon and more tomatoes.

I'm not a huge fan of watermelon, but I really enjoyed this salad. The tomatoes and feta cheese balance out the sweetness of the watermelon perfectly.

I added some chopped cucumber to this salad and it was even more refreshing. I also used a balsamic vinaigrette dressing instead of the olive oil and lemon juice.
