1/4 cup balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon honey

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon: Start by cutting the watermelon into cubes. Make sure to remove any seeds for a cleaner presentation.

    Chop the Mint: Rinse and roughly chop the fresh mint leaves. Use a sharp knife to prevent bruising the leaves.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced watermelon, chopped mint, crumbled feta cheese, and sliced red onion. Gently toss to mix all the ingredients without crushing the watermelon.

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

          Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the watermelon mixture, and toss gently to coat everything evenly with the flavorful dressing.

            Taste and Adjust: Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to your preference.

              Garnish & Serve: If desired, sprinkle pomegranate seeds on top for a burst of color and crunch. Serve immediately for the freshest taste and texture.
