Ingredients
3¼ pounds watermelon, rind removed, cut into 1 1/2-inch blocks
3 ounces crumbled feta cheese
2 large leaves fresh basil leaves, very thinly sliced
Directions
Arrange the watermelon blocks on a serving platter or individual plates.
Using a small melon baller, carefully scoop out a shallow well from the top center of each watermelon block, being careful not to scoop all the way through.
Divide the crumbled feta cheese evenly among the hollowed centers of the watermelon blocks, filling each well generously.
Top each feta-filled block with a small amount of the thinly sliced fresh basil, distributing it evenly across all pieces.
Serve immediately while the watermelon is chilled and fresh.
