Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Smaller Size Whole Seedless Watermelon. 
  • 3/4 Cup Feta
  • 1/3 Cup Light Olive Oil
  • 34 Tbsp of Balsamic Reduction
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 10 Basil Leaves chopped

Instructions

  • First of all, you need to chop up your seedless watermelon. I usually do this the day before I make this as the watermelon has time to chill in the fridge overnight. Cut the watermelon into bite sized pieces. Use a large mixing bowl for this.  I usually try to buy a watermelon between 5-7 pounds.
  • Add the crumbled feta into the watermelon.
  • Chop the fresh Basil leaves and toss into the watermelon salad.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add the light olive oil and toss well but gently.
  • Right before serving, add the balsamic reduction drizzled over the top.
  • Serve and enjoy.
