Watermelon Salad with Lychee Basil Vinaigrette
Share
There are some salads that are refreshing… and then there are salads that truly wake up your palate.
This Watermelon Salad with Lychee Basil Vinaigrette is one of those. The sweetness of the watermelon, the saltiness of feta and olives, the crisp cucumber, and just enough red onion for bite — it’s balanced and vibrant in every forkful.
But the real surprise is the vinaigrette.
Kaimana Lychee White Balsamic Vinegar brings a delicate fruitiness that pairs beautifully with watermelon without overpowering it. When whisked with Basil Premium Olive Oil, it creates a dressing that’s light, aromatic, and full of fresh flavor.
I love serving this chilled on a warm afternoon, alongside grilled chicken or seafood. It’s colorful, refreshing, and just a little different — exactly the kind of dish that makes people ask for the recipe.
Simple ingredients. Beautiful flavors. Pure summer.
