I'll admit, when I first came across this recipe, I thought "those ingredients together don't really sound good"~Boy was I wrong! This is probably one of the most delicious salads I've had all summer. During a small pool party recently I kept going back for seconds...and thirds! There are still plenty of warm days ahead and watermelons to buy to make this delicious combination! As a plus I already had some fresh basil in my garden :)
Watermelon Summer Salad
~8 cups cubed seedless watermelon
~1 cup sliced English cucumber (or your favorite type)
~2 oz feta cheese
~zest of 1/2 lemon
~4 fresh basil leaves, chopped
~sea salt for garnish
Cube the watermelon, slice the cucumbers into half moons, chop the basil and zest the lemon. Arrange the watermelon and cucumbers on a platter. Sprinkle with feta crumbles, lemon zest, basil and sea salt. Taste and adjust the flavors as desired. (For example, you could add freshly ground black pepper or a drizzle of olive oil.)
Serve immediately. Enjoy!
