Steps:
- To cube the cucumber: Cut the ends off the cucumber. Then thinly slice off all four long sides of the cucumber so that it resembles a long rectangle. Cut into thirteen 1-inch cubes. (Reserve the remaining cucumber for another use.)
- To cube the watermelon: Cut off the ends. Cut the watermelon into 1-inch round slices. Use a cucumber cube as a guide to cut the watermelon into thirteen 1-inch cubes. (Discard the rind and reserve the remaining watermelon for another use.)
- To cube the feta: Cut into four 1-inch cubes using a cucumber cube as a guide.
- To build the salad, make the bottom layer: Arrange 3 cubes across the top of a serving platter and then 5 cubes down, alternating cucumber and watermelon cubes (you should have something that resembles the number "7"). Fill in the "7" to make a 3-by-5-inch rectangle by alternating cucumber and watermelon cubes to create a checkerboard pattern. Occasionally swap out a cube of cucumber or watermelon with a cube of feta to integrate the 4 cubes into the pattern. There should be 15 cubes. To build the top layer, repeat the checkerboard pattern with the remaining 15 cucumber and watermelon cubes making sure that all the feta cubes are covered and every bottom cucumber cube is topped with a watermelon cube and vice versa.
- Drizzle the cubed salad with the oil and then sprinkle with the pepper, basil and mint leaves.

CUCUMBER SALAD WITH BALSAMIC DRESSING AND FETA
I came up with this one night when all I had was cucumbers and it seemed so boring. The onions in this were a last minute addition when my 1 yo daughter came toddling in with a couple from my garden. My kids loved and kept asking for more. Not bad for the veg. Note: For best favor, this should be chilled overnight or at least several hours. Cooking time is chilling time.

Steps:
- I peeled the cukes, but you don't have too. The yellow peel would add a nice splash of color. Slice them thin and put them in a pretty bowl.
- Note: If you don't want a lot of excess liquid, slice your cukes and let them sit overnight in a strainer. Extra liquid, if any, will drain from the them.
- If you got your onions fresh, as I did, you'll need to clean and trim them. Slice them very thin, including the greens. The darker green from the onions looks very pretty against the pale cucumbers. If you don't have any onion greens, 2 tbsp fresh chives will do.
- For the dressing:.
- Combine the vinegar, sugar and water. The meaurements I included here are approximate. You are welcome to make this to taste.
- Pour it over your salad and mix it well.
- Chill it overnight or at least several hours so the vinegar & onion flavors will combine. Stir it a couple of times to make sure the flavors are well incorporated.
- Crumble your feta over the salad before serving or combine it at the beginning to let it's flavors combine as well. The feta I used was what I had on hand so you're welcome to use any you wish.
- I've thought of adding some almonds or walnuts for an extra crunch.
