Watermelon Feta Salad

Prep Time: 10 min Cook Time: 0 minutes Total Time: 10 min Servings: 4 Source:

Ingredients

8 cups cubed ripe seedless watermelon (5 pounds or 1/2 medium watermelon)

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

4 basil or 6 mint leaves, minced

Lemon zest (optional)

1 pinch kosher salt, for garnish

Fresh ground black pepper (optional)

Description

Optional instead of basil or mint is harissa

Directions

Chop the watermelon and arrange it on a platter. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with feta crumbles, basil or mint, and kosher salt. Add lemon zest or black pepper if desired.

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.
