Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Watermelon
- 1 cup Feta cheese
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
Instructions
Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes. You will need about 1 pound of watermelon to make 4 cups of cubes.
Crumble the feta cheese into small chunks, ensuring it is distributed evenly.
Thinly slice the red onion into rings or half-moons and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
Rinse the fresh mint leaves thoroughly, pat them dry, and roughly chop them. Use about half a cup loosely packed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make a dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the watermelon cubes, crumbled feta, sliced red onion, and chopped mint leaves.
Drizzle the lime dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together to ensure even coating with the dressing.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top of the salad for a hint of sweetness and extra flavor.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving for a refreshing chilled salad.
