(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Mason Jar Lunches

Ingredients

  • For the Dressing:
  • 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon finely diced jalapeño pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the Salad:
  • 4 cups cubed watermelon
  • 2 cups sliced cucumbers
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing. Then spoon 1 tablespoon into each of 4 mason jars (12-16 ounce jars work best) with re-sealable lids.

  2. Add 1 cup of watermelon, 1/2 cup cucumbers, 1 tablespoon feta cheese and 1 tablespoon basil to each jar. Place the lids on the jars and refrigerate until you’re ready to eat. Or toss in your cooler for on-to-go eating.

  3. To serve, invert the jars several times to distribute the dressing. Or dump the contents out into a medium bowl, tossing gently to combine. Enjoy immediately.
