Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups watermelon* seedless, ripe , cubed, 5 pounds or 1/2 medium watermelon
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 oz feta cheese crumbled
  • 4 basil* leaves, chopped chiffonade
  • lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 pinch kosher salt for garnish
  • black pepper optional

Instructions
 

  • Chop the watermelon and arrange it on a platter. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with feta crumbles, basil or mint, and kosher salt. Add lemon zest or black pepper if desired.
  • Serve immediately. If making ahead, refrigerate the cubed watermelon separately: it releases a large amount of water after it is cut. Then assemble the salad right before serving. Leftovers store for up to 2 days.
