Watermelon, Cucumber and Basil Salad

 I love watermelon salad.  Usually, I make Paula Deen's recipe.  Stumbled across this one and like it even better!  In addition to watermelon, feta, and onion (like Paula's recipe) it also includes basil and cucumber with a lime/honey dressing.  I used cukes and basil from the garden.  It was delicious when I made it and the day after!  

Watermelon Salad

4-5 cups cubed watermelon (about 1/4 of regular sized whole, seedless watermelon)

1/4 small/medium red onion, sliced

2 cucumbers, peeled and seeded

1/2 cup feta cheese crumbles

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, sliced in thin strips


Honey Lime Vinaigrette

2 Tbsp honey

2 Tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1/2 a lime)

2 Tbsp olive oil

pinch of salt 

pinch of pepper


Combine salad ingredients in large bowl. In small bowl, whisk together vinaigrette ingredients, then pour over salad.  Gently stir to combine.
