WATERMELON AND FETA SALAD

Watermelon and Feta Salad image

A take on the Mediterranean combination of watermelon and feta, this refreshing zinger of a salad couldn't be more perfect. Unassumingly simple, the sweet melon, salty cheese and fragrant basil reach their peak when doused with white balsamic vinegar and dribbled with fruity olive oil. Rather than building tall, this salad builds wide - so use a large platter for the most dramatic presentation. Vinegared watermelon does not keep its crisp, juicy texture well, so be sure to dress it (and eat it) the moment the last basil leaf falls.
