Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 1 medium cucumber
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes and transfer to a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber if desired and slice it into thin rounds or half-moons. Add them to the bowl with the watermelon.
Crumble the feta cheese into small chunks and sprinkle over the watermelon and cucumber.
Roughly chop the fresh mint leaves and add them to the salad, reserving a few whole leaves for garnish if desired.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze and olive oil over the salad.
Lightly season with salt and black pepper to taste, remembering that the feta is already salty.
Gently toss the salad to combine all ingredients evenly without breaking up the watermelon or feta too much.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional mint leaves if desired.
