Ingredients
  

4 cups of fresh watermelon, cubed

1 cup of feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves, chopped

3 tablespoons of balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional: 1/4 cup of thinly sliced red onion for added flavor

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon: Start by rinsing the watermelon. Cut it into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large salad bowl.

    Add Feta and Mint: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the watermelon cubes. Add the chopped mint leaves on top for a burst of freshness.

      Optional Onion Addition: If using, scatter the thinly sliced red onion across the salad for an extra layer of flavor.

        Dress the Salad: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic glaze and extra virgin olive oil. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the salad.

          Season: Lightly season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, keeping in mind the saltiness of the feta cheese.

            Toss Gently: Using a large spoon, gently toss the salad until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

              Chill & Serve: If possible, refrigerate for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve chilled and enjoy!
