Ingredients
– 6 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 1/4 cup fresh basil, cut into thin strips
– 4 ounces feta cheese, broken or cut into chunks
– Kosher salt, to taste
– Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
– 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice for the dressing
– 1 1/2 tablespoons honey for the dressing
– 2 tablespoons olive oil for the dressing
– 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar for the dressing
Instructions
1-Gathering your ingredients is the first step to success. Start by preparing the watermelon, making sure it’s peeled and cubed, while washing and drying the basil leaves. This sets the stage for a smooth assembly process that takes just minutes.
2-Next, cube the watermelon into bite-sized pieces. This helps with even mixing and makes the salad easy to eat. In a large bowl, gently combine the watermelon cubes with the chopped basil to keep everything fresh and vibrant.
3-Add the feta cheese and any other elements like onions if desired, then prepare the dressing. In a separate bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, and champagne vinegar until well blended. Once ready, drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to distribute the flavors. Finally, season with salt and pepper, and serve right away for the best taste.
