Ingredients
  

4 cups of seedless watermelon, diced

1 cup of crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves, chopped

1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves, chopped

1 lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)

2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup of balsamic glaze (for drizzling)

1 small cucumber, diced (optional for crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon Cups: Using a melon baller or a small scoop, create hollowed-out watermelon cups by removing the inner flesh from a watermelon half. Set the watermelon balls aside for later use in the salad. Alternatively, you can simply use small bowls made from the watermelon rind.

    Mix the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the diced watermelon, crumbled feta cheese, chopped mint, basil, and cucumber (if using). Gently toss the ingredients together to ensure they are evenly mixed but be careful not to break up the feta too much.

      Dress the Salad: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour this dressing over the watermelon and feta mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

        Assemble the Cups: Spoon the watermelon-feta salad mixture into the prepared watermelon cups or bowls. Make sure to pack it in lightly to sustain its shape.

          Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: Use a spoon or squeeze bottle to drizzle balsamic glaze over the top of each salad cup for an added layer of flavor and visual appeal.

            Chill and Serve: For optimal taste, allow the salad cups to chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving. This enhances the flavors and makes the salad refreshing.

              Garnish: Optionally, garnish with additional mint or basil leaves on top before serving.
