This cold salad of sweet watermelon, cucumber, and salty feta cheese in a tart mint vinaigrette is just the thing on a hot summer day! Watermelon and cucumbers are both high in water, making this salad incredibly refreshing. Fresh chili pepper adds a special piquant flavor. If you don't have any on hand, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes, and basil can be substituted for the mint.
