Watermelon Feta Chessboard Salad

Prep Time30 minutes
Servings: 6 people

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.
