Ingredients
- 1000 g cubed watermelon approx 1/4 medium watermelon
- ⅓ cups chopped basil
- 200 g feta cheese one container cubed feta
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- salt + black pepper
Instructions
- Start by cutting your watermelon and feta into bite-sized cubes. Chop the fresh basil finely. It’s best to use fresh ingredients to get that vibrant, summery flavor.
- In a large bowl, gently toss together the watermelon cubes, feta cheese and chopped basil. Be careful not to break up the feta too much; you want nice chunks in every bite.
- Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, and olive oil. This dressing is light but adds just the right amount of sweetness and tang.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and give everything a gentle toss to combine. Make sure all the pieces are lightly coated with that delicious dressing.
- Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or platter. You can garnish with a few extra basil leaves if you want to make it look extra fancy.
