• 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• Salt (preferably flaky sea salt) and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Watermelon: Start by cutting the watermelon into cubes or wedges, ensuring any seeds are removed. Place the watermelon pieces in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add Feta and Herbs: Incorporate the crumbled feta cheese, chopped mint, and chopped basil into the bowl with the watermelon.
3. Prepare the Onion: Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the mixture in the bowl.
4. Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar until fully emulsified.
5. Combine and Season: Pour the dressing over the watermelon mixture. Gently toss all the ingredients together until evenly coated. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
6. Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving platter or divide among individual plates. For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle a bit more flaky sea salt on top just before serving.
