Ingredients
  

3 cups seedless watermelon, diced into 1-inch cubes

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 (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

4 large waffle cones

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon: Begin by taking the seedless watermelon and cutting it into 1-inch cubes. For an elegant touch, consider using a melon baller to create uniform, round shapes. This makes the presentation more visually appealing.

    Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cubed watermelon followed by the crumbled feta cheese and finely chopped basil leaves. Gently mix the ingredients together using a spatula to ensure that all the flavors are evenly distributed without crushing the watermelon.

      Dress the Salad: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic reduction over the salad mixture. Then, sprinkle the sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper on top. Carefully toss the mixture again to coat all the pieces without mashing the delicate watermelon cubes.

        Fill the Cones: Take your large waffle cones and spoon in the watermelon and feta mixture, packing it lightly to avoid spills. Aim for a generous filling in each cone, allowing the vibrant colors to peek over the top.

          Garnish (Optional): For an added garnish, place a small basil leaf atop each cone and drizzle a little extra balsamic reduction over the top to enhance the flavor and presentation.

            Serve Immediately: These delightful cones are best enjoyed right away for the ultimate freshness and crunch. Serve them as a refreshing appetizer or a light snack.

              Enjoy your bright and invigorating Basil Watermelon Feta Cones!
