Ingredients 3 ½ pounds seedless watermelon (rind removed), cut into 1-inch cubes (6 cups) 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice ½ cup fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips (see note) Coarse salt and ground pepper 4 ounces feta cheese, broken into large pieces (about 1 cup) Directions In a large bowl, combine watermelon, lime juice, and half the basil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Divide among four plates; scatter cheese and remaining basil on top. Cook's Notes When cutting basil, stack a few basil leaves (of similar size). Roll into a tight cylinder; with a sharp knife, slice crosswise into thin strips. Rate it Print
