Ingredients

1 tbsp white vinegar
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 shallots minced
2 tsp coarser sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
3 cups fresh ripe tomatoes quartered or cherry tomatoes, halved
3 cups watermelon cubed
3 tbsp fresh basil leaves slivered
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
8.8 oz feta cheese cubed
4 cups baby kale arugula or any salad greens

Instructions

Combine both vinegars with the shallots in a small bowl. Add 1 tsp salt and some peppers, stir and let stand.
Toss tomatoes and watermelon in a large bowl and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tsp salt.
Whisk 2 tbsp of the basil and the oil into the vinegar mixture. Pour the mixture over the fruits, scraping all the shallot and basil bits into the salad. Toss gently. Add feta cheese and gently toss so as not to break it up too much.
Serve over salad greens and trim with remaining basil.
Enjoy!
