Ingredients
- 1 Galia melon cut into ½” cubes (about 3 ½ cups)
- 1 cup strawberries halved
- ¼ cup fresh mint shredded or chopped
- 3-4 tablespoons feta cheese crumbled
- Juice from ½ lemon
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
Instructions
Cut the melon.
- Use a sharp knife to cut a round off the bottom and top of the melon so that the melon is stable on the cutting board.
- Once the melon is stable, use your knife to cut the skin off, following along the curve of the melon.
- When the melon’s skin has been completely removed, cut the melon in half.
- Use a spoon to scoop the seeds out of the center of the melon.
- Once the seeds have been disposed of, use your knife to cut the melon into strips, then dice it into ½” cubes.
- Transfer the melon to a bowl.
Put together the salad
- Add the halved strawberries and mint to the melon bowl.
- Juice the lemon on top of the fruit, being careful to ensure no seeds end up in the salad.
- Sprinkle the feta cheese into the salad.
- Toss using tongs.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze on top of the salad, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Easy entertaining tip: Cut the Galia melon in advance, but mix everything together right before it’s time to serve. The melon will release a lot of juice, and that’s perfectly OK, but the salad will get soggy and the balsamic drizzle will become diluted if you throw it all together in advance.
