We all know watermelon is delicious and hydrating all on its own. Try this refreshing salad for a new and flavorful way to eat your watermelon!
Watermelon Basil Salad
Ingredients
- 3-4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
- 3 tbsps feta cut into chunks (use good feta. We prefer to buy a block of sheep’s milk feta and cut it up rather than crumbled feta. But you can use whatever you like)
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- A few basil leaves chopped into small pieces
- 1/2 tsp flakey salt (or to taste)
Instructions
- Place watermelon in your serving bowl of choice
- In a small bowl, mix lemon zest, lemon juice and olive oil until well combined
- Add feta and basil to the watermelon and pour the dressing over the top
- sprinkle with some salt and mix/fold gently until combined
Notes
You could add another melon to this like cantaloupe and it would be delicious.
Enjoy!
