What kind of cheese is best for this watermelon salad
The cheese is optional, and it’s great with or without. Let’s start there! If you choose to add cheese, we love buffalo mozzarella. Being a non-cow cheese it seems to digest better for us. That said, you could also do cow’s milk mozzarella if you tolerate it ok. Feta works well, and burrata would be amazing, too! You’ve got options. What will you choose?
