Ingredients
  

4 cups watermelon, cubed

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 cucumber, diced

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed watermelon, diced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion.

    Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and fresh mint leaves, taking care not to break the feta too much.

      In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic glaze and olive oil until well combined.

        Drizzle the balsamic dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat.

          Season with salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind that feta can be quite salty already.

            Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
