Watermelon Salad
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 8 pounds Watermelon cubed
- 2 tablespoons Lime Juice fresh
- 2 tablespoon Olive oil
- pinch Salt
- pinch pepper
- 1/4 cup Mint leaves chopped (up to 1 cup)
- 2/3 cup Feta cheese crumbled
- 1/4 cup Sweet onion thinly sliced
Instructions
- 1. In a small saucepan set over medium-high heat, combine the balsamic vinegar and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue cooking it, scraping down the sides as needed, until it has reduced and is the consistency of syrup, about 5 minutes. (It will thicken as it cools and only yield a few tablespoons.) Set it aside to cool while you prepare the salad.
- 2. Cut the watermelon into cubes or use a melon baller and scoop it into balls. Add it to a large bowl.
- 3. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the watermelon, add the chopped mint, onion, and feta cheese, and toss to combine.
- 4. Drizzle the salad with the balsamic syrup and serve immediately.
