Feta and Watermelon Salad - CRAZY good salad recipe!!! I don't even like watermelon, and I LOVE this salad! Romaine, watermelon, feta, honey roasted pecans, pepper jelly, cider vinegar, sugar, lime juice, onion powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil. You can make the dressing ahead of time and toss everything together when ready to serve. Great for dinner parties, potlucks and cookouts. One of my all-time favorite salad recipes! SO easy!!!
