Ingredients
  

3 cups seedless watermelon, cubed

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic reduction

1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)

1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

4 large waffle cones

Instructions
 

Prepare Watermelon: Start by cutting the seedless watermelon into 1-inch cubes. You can use a melon baller for a fancier presentation if desired.

    Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed watermelon, crumbled feta cheese, and finely chopped basil. Gently toss the ingredients together to ensure an even distribution of all flavors.

      Dress the Mixture: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic reduction over the salad. Sprinkle in the sea salt and black pepper. Toss again carefully to coat all the ingredients without mashing the watermelon.

        Fill the Cones: Take the waffle cones and carefully fill them with the watermelon and feta mixture. Pack it in gently to avoid any spills and to allow for a generous portion.

          Garnish (Optional): For an extra touch, you can top each cone with a small basil leaf as a garnish, and drizzle a little more balsamic reduction on top.

            Serve Immediately: These cones are best enjoyed immediately for maximum freshness and crunch.

              Enjoy your vibrant and refreshing Basil Watermelon Feta Cones!
