- 1/2 large watermelon (cubed, about 6 cups)
- 1/4 red onion (thinly sliced, about 2/3 cup)
- 1 1/2 cup cucumber (cubed)
- 1/4 cup fresh mint (thinly sliced)
- 1/4 cup fresh basil (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup vinegar (red wine vinegar preferred)
- 1 lime (juice and zest only)
- salt and freshly ground pepper
Steps
Place the watermelon, cut-side down on a large cutting board and carefully trim off the rind. Cut the watermelon into equal 1 inch slices then turn the slices on their sides. Cut the watermelon slices vertically into 1 inch sticks, then cut the 1 inch sticks horizontally into 1 inch cubes. Transfer the watermelon to a large bowl.
Cube the cucumbers and thinly slice the red onions. Stack the mint leaves on top of each other and roll them up tightly. Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the mint rolls into a mint chiffonade. Repeat with the basil.
Add the red onions, cucumbers, mint, basil, and feta to the bowl with the watermelon.
In a liquid measuring cup or a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and the zest and juice of a lime.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. Toss well and enjoy!
