This is the BEST Melon Salad - a refreshing combination of ripe summer watermelon and cantaloupe tossed in a light, tangy citrus dressing, along with red onion, feta cheese, and fresh basil. It's easy, healthy, and the perfect appetizer or lunch salad to cool off with on hot summer days!
Dressing: in a small bowl or jar, whisk together the dressing ingredients.
1-2 Tablespoons lime juice, 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar, 2 Tablespoons olive oil, Salt and pepper
Salad: In a large bowl, combine the cubed melons, red onion, and feta in a large serving bowl. Toss with the dressing and then add in the basil. Garnish with additional feta and basil upon serving, as desired. Don't forget to check salt levels, too - finishing with flakey sea salt is an excellent move here. Enjoy!
4 cups watermelon, 4 cups cantaloupe, ½ cup red onion, ¼ cup fresh basil, ½ cup crumbled feta
