Easy Watermelon Feta Summer Salad

This one comes straight from my sister-in-law, who just gets salads. She brought it over last week and it was divine! Fresh, salty, sweet, and bright. I’m already making it again for this weekend’s barbecue. It’s that good.

Ingredients

• Watermelon, cut into bite-sized chunks

• 1 container of feta cheese, crumbled

• 1 jar pitted Kalamata olives, drained and halved

• Fresh basil leaves, roughly torn

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• Olive oil, for drizzling

• Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the watermelon, feta, olives, and basil.

2. Drizzle with olive oil and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top.

3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Toss gently to combine and serve chilled.

Notes

• This salad holds up well for a few hours in the fridge—just toss again before serving.

• You can prep the ingredients ahead of time and assemble just before guests arrive.

• Want to make it a little fancy? Add a sprinkle of flaky salt or swap basil for mint.
