RECIPE: Watermelon Salad
Fresh, sweet, salty, and incredibly refreshing, this watermelon salad is the perfect side dish for summer gatherings, grilling nights, or a light lunch.
Ingredients
1 small watermelon, cut into bite-sized cubes
Crumbled feta cheese (omit if you are dairy-free)
Fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
Red onion, thinly sliced
Aged balsamic vinegar/balsamic glaze for drizzling, optional
Freshly cracked black pepper, optional
Directions
Combine watermelon, feta, and onion in large serving bowl.
If using, drizzle balsamic vinegar/glaze and season with black pepper. Garnish with fresh basil.
Enjoy!
Tips
Chilling the watermelon before preparing results in the most refreshing flavor.
Adding the basil just before serving keeps it bright and fresh.
A little balsamic goes a long way—use a light drizzle so it complements rather than overwhelms the watermelon.
For extra crunch, add toasted pistachios or pumpkin seeds.
