Watermelon Salad
Description
This Watermelon Salad pairs sweet, seeded watermelon cut into bite-sized pieces with refreshing cucumber rounds, sharp red onion slices, and salty, crumbled feta cheese. Fresh mint adds a cooling herbal note while lime juice provides brightness. The salad is tossed gently to combine these contrasting flavors and textures.
A balsamic glaze made by reducing balsamic vinegar with honey until syrupy coats the salad, adding a rich, sweet acidity that complements the fruit and cheese. This glaze draws out the flavors without overwhelming the fresh components.
The salad is best served the same day to maintain the crispness of the vegetables and juiciness of the watermelon. It offers a vibrant dish suitable for summer meals or light gatherings, combining sweetness, saltiness, and tang in a refreshing preparation.

- ½ cup balsamic vinegar

- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons mint chopped, fresh

Instructions
Balsamic Glaze
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add the balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium-low, stirring occasionally until the liquid is reduced by half.
- Add in the honey and stir to combine. Remove from heat. (The balsamic reduction should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.) Set aside.
