Ingredients
  

4 cups of seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 cup of crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

2 tablespoons of balsamic reduction (store-bought or homemade)

Pinch of sea salt

Optional: 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Fresh mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Watermelon: Begin by selecting a ripe watermelon and slicing it into 1-inch cubes. Arrange the cubes artistically on a large, flat serving platter to create an inviting presentation.

    Add Feta: Generously sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the watermelon cubes. Aim to ensure each watermelon piece has a delightful layer of feta for a balanced flavor in every bite.

      Season: Evenly drizzle the balsamic reduction over the layered watermelon and feta. If you choose to use olive oil, lightly drizzle it now to add a touch of richness and depth to the dish.

        Herbs Galore: Take your finely chopped fresh mint leaves and delicately scatter them over the top of the watermelon and feta. This provides bursts of herbal freshness in every mouthful, so be sure to distribute the mint evenly.

          Season to Perfection: Lightly sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the entire dish to draw out the flavors of the watermelon and feta, enhancing the overall taste profile.

            Garnish: For an elegant finishing touch, place fresh mint sprigs on top of the bites. This not only adds color but also elevates the sensory experience with vivid aromas.

              Serve: Serve these delightful bites immediately to ensure they retain their fresh flavor and texture. They make for a refreshing appetizer, a vibrant side dish, or a light snack to beat the heat!
