Watermelon Mozzarella Basil Salad

Zutaten

A few years ago, an acquaintance shared this recipe with me, but it called for using the oil from marinated mozzarella balls. I wasn’t a fan of the seed oils in that version, so I decided to make it my own.

Instead, I used plain mozzarella pearls, extra virgin olive oil, my homemade Italian seasoning, and fresh basil.

It turned out to be one of those recipes that completely surprises people. The sweet watermelon, creamy mozzarella, crisp red onion, and fresh basil are the perfect combination.

When I served it recently, I was thrilled when a few people went back for seconds!

That’s one of the things I love most about cooking from scratch. You can take a recipe, tweak it to fit your own kitchen and preferences, and sometimes end up loving it even more than the original.

Have you ever tried watermelon salad?
