Watermelon Strawberry Caprese Salad

Step aside, all other fruit salads—this watermelon strawberry caprese is here to win every summer BBQ. We took inspo from two summer salad staples—caprese salad and watermelon feta salad—to create this best-of-both-worlds creation. Fresh strawberries have been added to juicy watermelon, tangy feta, and fresh basil for an extra-sweet summer treat. Pair with the simple olive oil dressing that ties everything together, and you’ve got the easiest, freshest side dish ready to devour in just 10 minutes.

While we love this recipe as-is, feel free to get creative with it. Add in some balsamic glaze, swap out the basil for fresh mint, or switch up the feta with some tangy, creamy goat cheese. It’s your summer salad—have fun experimenting! Making this ahead of time? Wrap it tightly and store in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
