Watermelon and Feta Salad with Balsamic Glaze
This summery salad is the perfect way to cool down on a hot day. The sweet watermelon pairs perfectly with the salty feta cheese, and the mint adds a refreshing touch. The balsamic glaze adds a touch of acidity and sweetness that brings the whole dish together.
This recipe was inspired by a trip to Greece that I took last summer. I was visiting the island of Santorini, and I had the opportunity to try a variety of local dishes. One of my favorites was a watermelon and feta salad. The combination of the sweet watermelon and the salty feta was so refreshing, and I knew that I had to recreate it at home. When I got back to the States, I experimented with different ingredients and proportions until I came up with this recipe. I'm so happy with the results, and I know that you will be too.
