Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups seedless watermelon cubes
  • 200 g feta cheese
  • Fresh lime juice from 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prep the ingredients: wash the watermelon, this step is important so as not to transfer bacterial into the rest of the ingredients. Peel and slice the watermelon and cut into cubes. Remove the feta from its packaging and cut the cheese into small cubes, alternatively, you can crumble it if you prefer.
  • Make the salad dressing: to a small mixing bowl add, olive oil, salt and pepper, lemon juice and whisk until emulsify. Then set aside.
  • Mix: In a large bowl, add watermelon cubes, feta cubes, salad dressing, basil chiffonade and toss to combine.
  • Refrigerate: place in the fridge for at least 20 minutes before serving for the flavours to develop. That said, the salad can be served almost immediately if need be.

Notes

Storage instructions
Watermelon salad is best served on the day it is made. The fruits release a lot of moisture when it is left sitting about which you would not like for a salad. Nevertheless, if you have any leftover then keep in the fridge in an airtight container and consume within 2 days.
