Watermelon- Feta Salad

 It's watermelon season and this salad is a huge hit every time I make it. Its the perfect refreshing side for barbecue, burgers, steaks etc. It combines some of my favorite herbs and flavors. I have seen several spins on this, and I basically just combined them all! A lot of recipes I found on pinterest just had mint. But I recently had watermelon paired with basil and loved it - so I did both here. This is super easy.

Watermelon-Feta Salad

• 4 cups watermelon cut into bite sized pieces
• 1/2 one red onion very thinly sliced
• 1 cup feta cheese (I use reduced fat because it's healthier and I can't taste the difference)
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, sliced thin
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, sliced thin
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste (about a teaspoon of each)
• juice of one lime
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1. Combine watermelon, onion, mint, basil, lime, olive oil, salt and pepper and lime in a big bowl.
2.  If you are making ahead and storing for a while. Stop here and either top each bowl with feta basil and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar at the last minute. 
3. If you are serving a big bowl for a buffet style - still add the basil, feta and balsamic towards the end.

**Makes about 4 servings depending on how many other sides you have

**This is a 2 on Bryce's dish scale. Cutting board and you can make it in the bowl you serve it in.
