Ingredients
1
half watermelon
600
grams
feta
21 oz
10
slices
of cucumber
small square cookie cutter
fresh basil leaves
to garnish
6
tablespoons
olive oil
4
tablespoons
balsamic glaze
sea salt
to taste
pepper
to taste
Instructions
Slice the watermelon.
Use the
square cookie cutter
to cut out the cubes. To make a chessboard, you'll need 32 cubes of watermelon and feta, each.
Repeat with the feta. I got 9 cut outs from each block (do save the leftovers and make
whipped feta
).
Arrange the chessboard on a large platter or chopping board.
Halve the cucumber slices and place the halves along the outer edge of the salad.
Top with finely chopped basil or use single leaves, as you prefer.
To make a dressing, mix olive oil and balsamic glaze. Sprinkle with sea salt and white pepper to taste, and pour over when ready to serve.
