This bright, summer salad includes just a few ingredients but packs incredible flavor. The key is the balance of sweet, salty, and savory components — the sweet comes from the watermelon, the salty comes from the crumbled feta cheese, and the savory comes from the basil and citrus vinaigrette.  See all watermelon recipes.

Watermelon and basil salad
Ingredients
  • 1 baby watermelon
  • 1/2 cup basil, chiffonade
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
  1. Scoop the watermelon into balls using an ice cream scoop or a melon baller (depending on the size you prefer) then place them into a medium-sized serving bowl. Toss the basil and feta cheese into the bowl and mix gently.
  2. Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to make a vinaigrette. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently, then serve immediately.
