Tips
Use a cold watermelon straight from the refrigerator. This keeps the salad extra fresh and juicy.
Cut the cucumber and watermelon into roughly the same size pieces.
Add the pomegranate syrup just before serving.
For extra freshness and a stronger citrus aroma, grate a little lime zest over the salad.
Add the basil only at the end. Fresh basil discolors if added too early.
Instructions
Cut the watermelon into small cubes. Dice the cucumber into small cubes and finely chop the red onion. Crumble or cut the feta into small cubes.
Place the watermelon, cucumber, red onion, and feta in a large bowl and mix everything together.
Drizzle the salad with pomegranate syrup for a fresh sweet-and-sour flavor. Garnish with fresh basil, extra red onion, and lime.
