While lots of feta is wonderful in a Greek salad, paired with the sweetness of watermelon and basil, a little goes a long way. So crumble just a little, and save the rest for either a Greek salad or Feta Cheeseburgers with Baked Garlic Fries.
Watermelon, Feta, and Basil Salad
For two people, you'll need:
2 cups seedless watermelon, diced
1 tblsp feta cheese, crumbled
6 large basil leaves, julienned
1 tblsp red wine vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
Dice, crumble, julienne, drizzle, grind. Taste. Adjust.
Done!
Enjoy!

Thanks for this entry! A very refreshing summer salad indeed.
ReplyDeleteNow this is my kind of recipe - four main ingredients and packed with the flavors of summer. Can't wait to try it.

Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI hope No Croutons Required spurs me to make even more vegetarian soups or salads. I need to eat healthier.
Susan,
Ah, your description makes it sound much nicer than my poor (wo)man's insalata caprese. :P
Watermelon and feta is such a great combo!
ReplyDeleteKevin,
ReplyDeleteIt is! I thought it'd be weird but it totally worked for me.
I was planning to make a watermelon salad with mint, but I just had basil on hand. This was delicious! - and easy to make. I will make it again (probably tomorrow!)
ReplyDeleteVirginia,
ReplyDeleteI like basil over mint myself. :)
