- To cut a watermelon into cubes, cut off the ends from it. Chop watermelon with round slices 2.5 cm thick. Cut the flesh of watermelon into 13 cubes 2.5 x 2.5 cm in size. Throw away the peel and set aside remaining watermelon for other use.
- Cut 4 cubes 2.5 × 2.5 cm from feta.
- To collect the salad, lay out the bottom layer: place 3 dice on the top of the serving dish, then 5 dice down, alternating cucumber and watermelon (you should get a figure in the shape of the letter G). Fill in G to make a 7.5 x 12.5 rectangle see, alternating cubes of cucumber and watermelon to get a chess pattern. Replace some cubes of cucumber or watermelon with feta cubes, so that 4 white cubes appear in the pattern. It should turn out 15 cubes. To assemble the top layer, repeat the checkerboard pattern with the remaining 15 cubes of cucumber and watermelon, covering all the feta cubes, and so that on top of each cube of cucumber stood a cube of watermelon and vice versa.
