Ingredients

26 ounces watermelon, cubed (about 5 cups)
2 whole Persian cucumbers, cut into rounds
4 ounces fresh feta cheese
2 tablespoons fresh mint
2 tablespoons fresh basil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 ounce lime juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
¼ teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
⅛ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

Start by preparing your dressing. In a bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic, salt, pepper, lime juice and zest. Whisk to create a dressing.
Cut your watermelon into bite sized cubes, and place on a large serving platter or in a large serving bowl, followed by cucumber slices, feta cheese, and herbs. Drizzle on the dressing, then toss to combine. Garnish with more herbs if desired. Enjoy!
Serve right away and enjoy immediately.

Notes

This salad is best enjoyed right away, but if you want to save it, leave the dressing off until it's time to serve and store in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep for up to 2 days.
Leftovers with dressing will become soggy if you store in the fridge, but it can be done. Eat within 2 days.
Fresh feta cheese is best but you can also use crumbled if you prefer.
Herbs are optional and to taste. We love the refreshing and slightly sweet combo of mint and basil with this salad!
Lemon juice and zest can be substituted for lime.
This salad can easily be made vegan by using vegan feta cheese.
