i love summer because i love bbqs and i love watermelon! watermelon salad is pretty much my go to for a potluck style bbq. it's easy to make, super delicious and a crowd pleaser. there are literally millions of watermelon salad recipes on the internet. i took the liberty of adding a little more flavor to the traditional watermelon, feta, basil situation.
preheat the oven to 400 and gather your ingredients. what you need:
2 small watermelons
1 bunch of basil
8 oz of feta in block form
2 cups of pine nuts
3 jalapeños
2 tbs balsamic vinegar
1 lime
coat the pine nuts with balsamic vinegar and place in the oven. nuts will roast for about 10-15 minutes. be sure to check them periodically to make sure they don't burn.
while the nuts are in the oven cop up the remaining ingredients to your liking. i think it's super important to buy feta in the block form and chop/crumble it yourself! it's much more flavorful this way... fluffy and moist :)
take the nuts out of the oven, toss the ingredients together and enjoy!
