class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>mixed baby greens<\/strong> &#8211; <strong> <\/strong>Feel free to use any lettuce you like.

A block of Feta sold in brine is best. The reason a watermelon Feta salad is so popular is because of how amazing the salty feta is in combination with the juicy sweetness of the watermelon. However, if you&#8217;d like to use a substitute cheese, goat or blue cheese would also be delicious.<\/li>\n<li><strong>avocado<\/strong> &#8211; Ripe avocados should yield to firm gentle pressure.
