A salad trend that continues to return every year is the combination of watermelon and feta cheese. The sweet nature of watermelon paired with the creamy and tangy cheese makes for a complimentary union. I added some fresh tomatoes, cured olives, red onion and basil to enhance all the delicious flavors. I topped this salad with a simple drizzle of olive oil and balsamic glaze. I love to make a large version of this salad to serve for parties and store the leftovers to pick on the next day.
1/2 of a watermelon cubed into 1 inch pieces
1 8oz block of feta cheese cubed into .5 inch pieces
