Watermelon, Tomato and Feta Salad
This watermelon, tomato, and feta salad is summer in a bowl! Salty and sweet salad with juicy watermelon, the best tomatoes you can find, and salty feta.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 large heirloom tomatoes, cored and cut 1-inch cubes
- 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cubed feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or white balsamic vinegar, preferred
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine the cubed tomatoes and watermelon in a large, nonreactive bowl, like a glass mixing bowl, and toss gently to combine. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Whisk together the oil and vinegar and drizzle over the cubed tomatoes and watermelon. Add the feta and basil and toss. Taste, adding more salt as needed. I usually add another 1/4 teaspoon of salt, but it depends on the saltiness of your feta.
- Divide and serve. I like adding freshly ground black pepper on top before serving.
