Ingredients

  • 3 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
  • 1 cup cucumber, sliced
  • 1 cup tomato, chopped
  • ¼ cup white onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, loosely packed, torn
  • 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Cube watermelon and prepare cucumber, tomato, and onion. Combine in a large bowl.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, juice, and salt and pepper.
  • Combine dressing with prepped fruit/veggies and toss thoroughly to coat. Add in basil and toss again.
  • Let salad stand at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Toss once more just before serving.

Notes

This salad is best when eaten right away but can be refrigerated overnight. Liquid may pool at the bottom of the bowl but can be tossed back into the salad.
