Ingredients
- 5-6 cups watermelon pieces (about 1" in size)
- 2 cups strawberries cut into quarter
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup loosely packed fresh basil roughly chopped
- salt to taste (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine watermelon, strawberries, cheese and basil. Gently mix to avoid breaking the watermelon pieces.
- While serving, add little bit of salt to enhance the taste (remember feta cheese has some salt in it). It is completely optional and tastes great even without it.
