Mise-En-Place

Wash off melon and trim off stems (that will stabilizes the shells). Cut melon in half crosswise and scoop out the seeds from the centres. Using a melon baller, plunge the edge of the melon baller into the melon, and rotate the edge all the way around to make perfect sphere. Continue with remaining melon. With a large spoon, scrap remaining flesh out and save and mix scraps with an immersion blender with a dash of lemon or lime juice and a pinch of salt; refrigerate. Pat dry and cut feta cheese into small cubes and add to the melon balls. Overlap basil leaf and thinly slice. Add basil to the melon-feta mixture and season with lemon or lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
