Watermelon Cucumber Salad

Serve this refreshing salad as a side dish with summer meals. Try chilling this salad in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving to help the flavors come together. If you don’t have balsamic vinegar, try the juice of 1 lime or lemon. If you use tofu instead of feta cheese, you may want to season with a little salt.
