Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 6 cups cubed watermelon
  • 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • Balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze, optional (to drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cubed watermelon, chopped red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh mint leaves. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  2. Add Dressing: If desired, drizzle lightly with balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze to add a sweet and tangy flavor contrast. Be cautious not to overpower the freshness of the salad.
  3. Serve Chilled: Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate for a short time to enhance the refreshing taste. This salad is best enjoyed cold and fresh.

Notes

  • For extra texture, add some toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds.
  • Use seedless watermelon for easier preparation and eating.
  • Fresh mint leaves are essential for the salad’s bright flavor—do not substitute with dried mint.
  • Balsamic glaze provides a sweeter, thicker drizzle compared to vinegar and can be omitted if preferred.
  • This salad is best served the same day it’s prepared for optimal freshness.
