Watermelon Christmas Salad, also known as watermelon and feta salad, is the perfect refreshing salad to serve on a hot Christmas Day. It is so delicious, refreshing and thirst quenching to eat and super quick and easy to make. Plus the red, white and green colours of this salad are so Christmasy too!
This is one of my all time favourite Christmas salads to take to Christmas barbecues, Christmas lunches and other Christmas events where you are asked to bring a plate. It is packed full of flavour and is the perfect mix of sweet and savoury. It is always well enjoyed and is one of the most popular salads for Christmas for good reason, it is so cool and delicious.
Young children however may prefer to eat watermelon Christmas trees.
Christmas Grinch fruit skewers are always popular too.
