Hot Honey Watermelon Salad

This salad is a creative way to enjoy watermelon and make it a little more filling with protein and healthy fats from pistachios and feta. Plus the hot honey gives it a tasty bit of sweet heat. Bring it to a cookout as a refreshing side, have it as a healthy snack, or serve it as an appetizer.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 of a Bethany’s Best watermelon, cut into bite-sized pieces
