Tomatoes and watermelon are irresistibly refreshing when balanced with salty feta cheese. A simple basil lime vinaigrette adds herbal depth of flavor to this summer salad. This recipe comes to us from Sophisticated Pie.
Serves 8
For the basil lime vinaigrette:
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 watermelon, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 4 ripe tomatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 3 ounces feta cheese, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
Combine the lime juice and basil to a blender or food processor. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pulse to combine.
Slowly add the olive oil with the mixing device on. Taste and re-season with salt and pepper if necessary.
To complete the watermelon feta tomato salad:
In a large bowl, toss the watermelon, tomatoes, and feta cheese cubes together, then spread them out onto a platter.
Drizzle the fruit and feta cubes with the basil lime vinaigrette as needed. Enjoy this refreshing salad either chilled or at room temperature.
