Description

A simple watermelon salad with fresh fruits and vegetables, perfect for your summer picnic or a simple dinner at home.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 of a seedless mini watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 slicing cucumber, cut into ½-inch quarter moons
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
  • 1/2 cup of Kalamata olives, halved
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta, plus more for topping
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Instructions
    To make this simple watermelon salad
  1. 1

    Place a colander inside a large bowl, chop the watermelon, cucumber, grape tomatoes, and olives and place the produce in the colander while you chop the rest.  Since these are water-heavy fruits and vegetables, they’ll let off a lot of moisture quickly.

  2. 2

    Once everything is chopped, give it a quick stir inside the colander, dump any excess moisture caught in the bowl, and transfer everything from the colander to the bowl.

  3. 3

    Mix in olive olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

  4. 4

    Add the crumbled feta and chopped basil right before serving and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Divide into bowls with any extra feta and basil on top.

  6. 6

    Serve with a side of roasted chickpeas to make a full meal of it, a green salad, or as a refreshing side to your next barbecue.
