The prettiest watermelon checkerboard salad with cantaloupe, heirloom tomatoes, cucumber, feta, olive oil, balsamic & basil! 🍉🍅🥒

The key to pulling this off: great knives!! We’ve been using zwilling_usa knives forever (literally can’t even remember when we first got them) and their 8” pro chef’s knife is my go-to (I swear we use it 3x a day). I also love love love their serrated knives for cutting tomatoes! #zwilling1731 #sponsored 

Put ‘RECIPE’ below and we’ll send it your way as well as a link to our favorite knives! 🥰

1 ½ cups watermelon, diced into 1” cubes
1 cup cantaloupe, diced into 1” cubes
3 mini cucumbers, diced into 1” cubes
1 large heirloom tomato, diced into 1” cubes
8 ounce block of feta cheese, diced into 1” cubes
Olive oil to taste
Balsamic glaze to taste
Flaky salt and black pepper to taste
Basil leaves

To dice watermelon into perfect cubes, cut the watermelon in half widthwise. Set on a cutting board flat side down. Slice the entire watermelon into strips about 1 inch wide. Rotate and slice the other way so you end up with 1 inch strips.

Cut each strip of watermelon into 1 inch cubes. 

To cut the cucumbers into squares, trim the peel on 4 sides to square it off, then slice into 1 inch pieces. For the tomato, we cut off the bottom and top, then cut into 1 inch squares. 

Arrange all of the cubed ingredients in a square or rectangle. Drizzle with olive oil, balsamic glaze, salt, pepper and fresh basil to taste. Enjoy!
