Watermelon salad with Feta cheese and Basil

Watermelon salad with feta cheese is a flavorful combination of juicy watermelon and salty feta cheese. To make the dressing, simply mix olive oil and lemon juice. Adding fresh basil leaves will give the salad an extra kick. This recipe is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

8 cups cubed ripe seedless watermelon, chilled
3 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Serve immediately. If making ahead, refrigerate the cubed watermelon separately: it releases a large amount of water after it is cut. Then assemble the salad right before serving. Leftovers store for up to 2 days.
