  • Cut up the watermelon and pit those olives.

  • To plate, I like to arrange the watermelon in a fairy even layer on a large platter. Scatter with crumbled feta, torn olives, basil and your onions (drain off any excess vinegar).

  • Finish the salad with a drizzle of good olive oil and some fresh ground pepper.
