Watermelon Salad with Balsamic Glaze and Feta

Cheff Jenn
I love how refreshing and flavorful Watermelon Salad with Balsamic Glaze and Feta is! The sweet, juicy watermelon pairs perfectly with creamy feta and a tangy balsamic drizzle, creating a light and vibrant dish that’s perfect for summer gatherings, barbecues, or a quick, healthy side.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • For the best texture, use ripe but firm watermelon to prevent it from becoming too watery in the salad.
  • You can buy premade balsamic glaze that’ll save you some time. 
  • Swap out the basil for fresh mint for a different twist on this salad.
