How To Make This Easy Watermelon Cucumber Salad?
I always start by gathering all of the ingredients needed in a recipe and weighing and measuring everything before I start to cook or bake. This part is really important and key in keeping everything organized.
To make this easy watermelon cucumber salad you start by making the dressing by whisking together lime juice and zest, extra virgin olive oil and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
Then you combine the cubed watermelon, cucumber, fresh basil and cilantro in a large bowl. Pour in the dressing and gently toss everything together until combined.
Serve by arranging the salad on a large plate or bowl and top with crumbled feta cheese. Garnish with more fresh herbs.
