Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups watermelon balls scooped with the larger end of a melon baller
  • 2-3 cups green yellow, and orange cherry tomatoes, cut pole to pole
  • 1 Kirby cucumber peeled, seeded, and diced
  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • 1/2 lime zested and juiced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 ounces feta cut into small pieces
  • 3-4 tablespoons finely minced fresh herbs use a mixture of mint, chives, and basil
  • Arugula spinach, or spring mix (optional)

Method
 

  1. Combine the watermelon, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber in a pretty glass bowl. (Don't make it too far ahead - if you do, be sure to drain the juice from the watermelon that will accumulate in the bottom of the bowl.)
  2. Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, and half of the minced herbs, and gently toss it with the salad.
  3. Add the feta and additional minced herbs. Toss gently and serve immediately.
