Watermelon Basil Salad. Delicious, refreshing and beautiful to look at! This salad is a sure crowd pleaser that will keep you coming back for more. Perfect as a side dish. It's also vegan!
Slice cold seedless watermelon into half. Using a melon baller, scoop melon into balls. If you don’t own a melon baller, scoop with a large spoon or remove the watermelon skin with a sharp knife and dice melon into cubes. Place into a large salad bowl.
Add chopped basil and sliced red onion to your large bowl.
In a small bowl, combine extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, and whisk well. Pour over the watermelon, basil and red onion and gently mix.
In a small saucepan on medium heat, whisk together balsamic vinegar and sugar. Reduce until it is thick like a syrup. Drizzle balsamic reduction on top of the salad. Serve immediately and enjoy! Note: It is best to consume salad within the same day.
