Notes
For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season peaches and a sweet, juicy watermelon.
Block feta cheese that is crumbled fresh provides the best texture and flavor.
Chill the watermelon and peaches before assembling for an extra refreshing summer salad.
If making ahead, prepare the fruit and dressing separately and combine just before serving.
Fresh basil is recommended for the brightest flavor.
