Ingredients
4 cups watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 large handful fresh basil, thinly sliced into a chiffonade
3 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
Directions
Place the watermelon cubes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then gently toss using your hands until the watermelon is lightly coated with the vinaigrette.
Scatter the sliced basil and crumbled feta cheese over the watermelon mixture, then gently fold together using your hands or a soft spatula until evenly combined, being careful not to crush the watermelon.
Serve immediately while chilled, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days before serving.
