8 servings
  • 4 -6 Persian cucumbers, sliced in half lengthwise
  • 4 cups cubed watermelon
  • 1 -2 avocados, diced
  • 1/3 cup salted pistachios, chopped
  • 8 ounces feta cheese

In a salad bowl, toss together the cucumbers, watermelon, avocado, pistachios, and basil leaves. 3. To make the dressing. Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and dill. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Mix well, breaking up the feta as you mix. 4. Gently toss the salad with the dressing. Serve with fresh pita and chips. Yum!
