Ingredients
  

4 cups ripe watermelon, cubed

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

½ cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1 tablespoon lime juice for a zesty kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the watermelon: Start by cutting the watermelon into bite-sized cubes. Make sure to remove any seeds.

    Slice the onion: Thinly slice the red onion and separate the rings. This will add a lovely crunch to the salad.

      Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the cubed watermelon, crumbled feta cheese, chopped mint leaves, and sliced red onion.

        Dress the salad: Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic glaze over the salad. If using, add lime juice for extra zing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Toss gently: Using a spatula or large spoon, gently toss all the ingredients together. Be careful not to break up the watermelon too much.

            Chill and serve: For the best flavor, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving to allow the juices to blend together. Serve cool and enjoy!
