Course Salad

Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups Ripe Seedless Watermelon Cubed (1 8 lbs Watermelon)
  • 1 cup 2 Mini Cucumbers or 1/2 English Cucumber Sliced
  • 2 oz Feta Cheese Crumbles
  • 1/2 Lemon Zest
  • 4 leaves Basil
  • Sea Salt Garnish

Instructions
 

  • Chop the watermelon into cubes.
  • Slice the cucumbers.
  • Chop the basil.
  • Zest the lemon.

Notes

Arrange the watermelon and cucumbers on a platter. Sprinkle with feta crumbles, lemon zest, and sea salt. Taste and adjust flavors as desired. Serve immediately.
 If making ahead, refrigerate the cubed watermelon separately: it releases a lot of water after it is cut. Then assemble the salad directly before serving.
