Ingredients

  • 5 cups of Watermelon
  • 1/2 cup of Feta Cheese
  • 1 cup Fresh Basil
  • Ground Pepper
  • Pinch of Salt
  • Juice of 1 Fresh Lime

Optional

  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Cut and Cube a watermelon into bite-size pieces. You'll need to peel and cut the watermelon into cubes or bite-sized pieces, but you can also use a melon baller, if you're after a fancier look.
  • Add crumbled feta cheese to the watermelon. For this recipe, use feta packed in brine as it is creamier and moister than feta without brine. If you get feta in brine, it's very easy to crumble it by hand.
  • Roughly chop, cut or tear a handful or packed cup of fresh basil and add to watermelon and feta. You want to have some punch to this salad so you can be generous with the herbs.  
  • Add a dash of ground pepper and a pinch of salt to the salad.
  • Squeeze the juice from a lime onto the salad. Approximately 1/4 - 1/3 cup of juice.
