Watermelon is one of the most popular summer fruits in Turkey and it is my favorite fruit of all time. This post is not really a recipe but a pairing of watermelon and feta, sweet and salty. When I tell my non-Turkish friends to try watermelon with feta, they generally don't believe that they would go well together.

I grew up eating this for breakfast every summer when I visited my grandparents on the coast of the Mediterranean. On a hot summer day, a cold and sweet slice of watermelon and a salty slice of feta is all you need to cool yourself down. So trust me and try this match made in heaven this summer.

If you want to spice it up a bit more, watermelon and feta is also a commonly enjoyed meze with raki. Raki is a Turkish liquor made with grapes and anise. So pour yourself and your friends a glass and enjoy the flavors, the company and summer nights.
