I know this site is more known for the ‘low carb’ sort of recipes but seeing as it’s summertime and watermelons are in season, I’ve wanted to get this recipe up for awhile. My thought behind it is: it’s the proper season for these tasty melons and even though I tend to eat a lower carb paleo diet, I can make this for people who come over for parties and such. I’m still keeping it in the clean eating realm and my guests can enjoy a nice summer salad. The best part is, this dish is super easy to make. All you really need is a big mixing bowl and a knife to cut the watermelon. It took me a little bit to get the ingredient ratios to my liking but I think I’ve finally got something simple and tasty.
- 4 cups watermelon, cut into 1 inch cubes
- large handful fresh basil, sliced thinly into a chiffonade
- 3 tbs feta, crumbled
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine watermelon cubes, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar using your hands
- Add basil and feta and gently combine
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days
