Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves torn
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves torn
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts optional

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine the watermelon cubes, red onion slices, and torn mint and basil leaves.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  3. Drizzle the dressing over the watermelon mixture and toss very gently to coat.
  4. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the salad.
  5. If using, scatter toasted pine nuts on top for extra crunch.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for up to 30 minutes before serving for more intense flavors.

Notes

For best results, use chilled watermelon. Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor. Leftovers don't keep well - enjoy fresh!
