Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together the vinegar and Dijon mustard. Add the garlic, salt, and pepper, stirring well. Gradually drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking until emulsified. Refrigerate the dressing until ready to use for optimal flavor.
In a large bowl, gently combine the watermelon, feta cheese, and red onion. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Pour approximately half of the prepared dressing over the salad, tossing gently to coat evenly. Refrigerate the salad for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Just before serving, drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad for an extra burst of flavor.
