Ingredients
  

2 cups watermelon, diced into cubes

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by dicing the watermelon into bite-sized cubes. Crumble the feta cheese and chop the fresh mint leaves. Slice the red onion thinly.

    Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic glaze, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.

      Combine Watermelon and Feta: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced watermelon, crumbled feta cheese, chopped mint leaves, and sliced red onion. Gently toss to combine, being careful not to squash the watermelon.

        Dress the Salad: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the watermelon and feta mixture. Toss gently again to ensure everything is evenly coated in the dressing.

          Serve and Garnish: If using walnuts, sprinkle them on top for added crunch. Serve the salad in individual bowls or on a large platter for sharing. Garnish with extra mint leaves if desired.

            Enjoy Chilled: For the best flavor experience, let the bowl sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy it chilled!
