Ingredients
  

4 cups watermelon, diced into bite-sized cubes

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 cup cucumber, diced small

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped roughly

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)

Juice of 1 juicy lime (about 2 tablespoons)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional: 1/4 cup toasted walnuts or pistachios, roughly chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced watermelon, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, and roughly chopped mint leaves. Gently toss to mix the ingredients together without mashing the watermelon.

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic glaze, fresh lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy dressing.

      Drizzle the dressing over the watermelon mixture, then gently toss again to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated in the delightful dressing.

        Carefully fold in the crumbled feta cheese, taking care not to break it apart too much, maintaining its texture and flavor throughout the salad.

          If desired, add a sprinkle of toasted walnuts or pistachios on top for an extra layer of crunch and nutty flavor that complements the sweetness of the watermelon.

            Serve the salad in individual bowls or arrange it beautifully on a large platter. For a fresh touch, garnish with additional mint leaves.
