Cut up the watermelon and pit those olives.
1/2 - 1/4 seedless watermelon, 1/2 cup Castelvetrano 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).
8 oz feta cheese, 1 handful basil, olive oil, fresh ground black pepper
Finish the salad with a drizzle of good olive oil and some fresh ground pepper.
