This salad is healthy and refreshing. It has an interesting twist on the typical fruit salad. It can be considered patriotic with the pink, white, and blue ingredients – bring it along for your 4th of July potluck! The feta adds creaminess and a bit of tart; the fresh basil adds another dimension – also while enhancing the watermelon flavor. It’s fresh. And so simple.

Something else that is fun to do with the watermelon, is to cut out shapes using a cookie-cutter. I’ve used the star cookie cutter before on our American holiday. All you need to do is to cut the watermelon in thin slices – approximately 1/2 inch thick, then use a cookie cutter of choice to make festive shapes.
