To make the dressing, add the honey, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lime juice, salt, and pepper to a small bowl and mix to combine.
Add the watermelon, basil, feta, cucumber, and red onion to a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the ingredients.
Toss the salad with your hands or two wooden spoons to combine. Garnish with additional basil or feta if desired.
Notes
The best watermelon basil salad starts with fresh ingredients. Make sure your watermelon is fresh and ripe, and that your herbs and cucumbers are as fresh as they can be as well.
Add some greens! Arugula, spinach, or parsley would be delicious mixed into this salad.
Or add more fruit. Blueberries are a beautiful and tasty addition.
Skip the feta if you'd like to make this recipe vegan, or use your favorite crumbly-style vegan cheese instead.
This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to serve a crowd.
Store leftover watermelon salad in the fridge for up to 3 days. The melon will start to soften a bit with storage though, so it's best to enjoy this recipe as soon as possible.
