When it comes to a summer salad, nothing seems more in-season than fresh watermelon and newly harvested basil. In this Watermelon & Basil Summer Salad recipe, juicy fruit, creamy mozzarella, sweet basil, and a touch of hot chili powder become a combo that can’t be beaten.
Textures are a star component here: crunchy chilled watermelon with soft mozzarella cheese balance each other perfectly. Then, the basil adds an herby rich, and some chili heat finishes it off.
