Watermelon Feta Spinach Salad

 

Total Time: 20 minutes

Servings: 4

​

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 cups baby spinach, 4 ounces

• 1 1/2 pounds bite sized cubes seedless watermelon

4-6 cups depending on the size of the cubes

• 1/2 small red onion, slivered, 1 ounce

• 1 cup feta cheese, cut into cubes or crumbled, 2 ounces

• 1 small bunch of basil, chopped

• Olive oil and reduced balsamic for drizzling

• Finishing sea salt for sprinkling 

​

DIRECTIONS:

1. Mound the baby spinach onto individual plates and top with the watermelon, red onion, feta cheese, and chopped basil. Or you can toss them altogether in a large serving bowl.

2. Drizzle with the olive oil of your choice and reduced balsamic vinegar. You can also use regular balsamic but the flavor won’t be quite as rich.

3. Sprinkle each plate with a small amount of the finishing salt.

4. Serve immediately.

5. If you’re using one serving bowl, toss the salad before serving with a sprinkling of the finishing salt thrown in.
