Ingredients
  

4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Begin by preparing the watermelon. Cut the seedless watermelon into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

    Add the thinly sliced red onion to the bowl with watermelon. This will add a nice crunch and a hint of sharpness to the salad.

      Crumble the feta cheese over the watermelon and onion mixture. The creamy feta will balance beautifully with the juicy watermelon.

        Add the chopped fresh mint leaves to the bowl for a refreshing flavor that complements the other ingredients.

          Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic glaze over the salad. Toss gently to combine all ingredients, being careful not to mush the watermelon.

            Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning based on your preference.

              Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
