Watermelon Salad with Basil and Feta

Nothing better on a hot summer night. The beautiful juicy watermelon pairs perfectly with the salty feta and sharp basil. You'll want to make this one over and over.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 6 people

Ingredients

  • 1 medium Seedless Watermelon
  • 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 6 large basil leaves
  • 1 medium lime
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin optional

Instructions

  • Cut the watermelon into good size chunks - about 2" each and place the chunks in a pretty bowl
  • Grab your beautiful basil. I used both regular and Thai basil that I found in my garden. Whatever you have (or steal from your neighbor) is great!
  • Pick 6-8 big basil leaves and pile them on top of each other
  • Roll them up like a cigar and slice through - also know as Chiffonade - to impress your fancy chef friends!
  • Give the slices a whirl to separate them and grab a lime
  • Squeeze the lime over the watermelon chunks
  • Grab some lovely Feta and crumble it (or just buy crumbled Feta, of course)
  • Add the crumbled feta, basil and drizzle of olive oil to the watermelon. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve. It will go fast!
