Watermelon feta basil salad is a fragrant twist on the classic, swapping mint for fresh basil. The result is slightly sweeter, more aromatic, and perfect if you enjoy a Mediterranean-style flavor profile.

• 4 cups watermelon (cubed, chilled)
• 150–200g feta cheese (crumbled or cubed)
• Fresh basil leaves (torn or thinly sliced)
• 1–2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• Juice of ½ lemon or lime
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Optional: pinch of salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions

2. Add feta cheese
   Sprinkle evenly across the watermelon.
3. Add basil

4. Dress the salad
   Drizzle olive oil and squeeze lemon or lime juice.
5. Season lightly
   Add black pepper and a small pinch of salt if needed.
6. Serve immediately
   Toss gently or leave layered for a more elegant presentation.
