Cut out rind from watermelon and cut them into 1 inch cubes. Put these watermelon cubes in a large bowl.
Cut cucumbers into similar sized cubes and put them in a large salad bowl.
Chop fresh mint and add that to the bowl with watermelon and cucumbers.
Add feta cheese cut into very small cubes in the same salad bowl.
In a small bowl whisk together olive oil, lime juice, salt, pepper, sumac, and basil leaves.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Sprinkle crumbled Goat cheese over the salad. Serve chilled

Seeding watermelon is cumbersome so try and use seedless watermelon.
Do not cut the watermelon into big chunks. Medium-sized cubes of watermelon are ideal for dressing to work its magic.
You can skip cucumber or use it if you like that.
Use chilled watermelon and make it fresh for the best taste.
Do not let it sit for too long in case you want to make it ahead, pour dressing when you are ready to eat.
Use best quality ingredients like olive oil etc because USP of these simple recipes is quality of fresh produce.
I have not used lemon zest in the video but you can add lemon zest in the basil honey vinaigrette to add more refreshing taste.
