1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

1/4 cup balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Zest of 1 lime

Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
 

Prepare Watermelon: Start by dicing the seedless watermelon into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large bowl.

    Add Aromatics: Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the watermelon. This will give a nice crunch and zest to the dish.

      Mix in Cheese and Herbs: Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped mint leaves until evenly mixed. Try not to mash the watermelon.

        Dress it Up: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle this dressing over the salad.

          Balsamic Finish: Finally, drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top for a sweet and tangy finish.

            Chill and Serve: Place the salad in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
