Salad: In a large bowl, combine the cubed melons, red onion, and feta in a large serving bowl. Toss with the dressing and then add in the basil. Garnish with additional feta and basil upon serving, as desired. Don't forget to check salt levels, too - finishing with flakey sea salt is an excellent move here. Enjoy!
