INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Prepare the Watermelon:
Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large bowl.
2. Add Feta and Mint:
Crumble the feta cheese over the watermelon. Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves on top.
3. Optional Jalapeño:
If you like a bit of heat, add the finely diced jalapeño. Be sure to remove the seeds and ribs if you prefer a milder spice level.
4. Dress the Salad:
Drizzle a little early harvest olive oil over the salad. If using, add the balsamic vinegar for a touch of sweetness and tanginess.
5. Season:
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
6. Serve:
Serve immediately for the freshest taste. This salad is best enjoyed the same day it's made.
Tips:
If preparing ahead, keep the watermelon and feta separate until just before serving to prevent the salad from getting too soggy.
For extra crunch, you can add some thinly sliced red onion or cucumber.
Enjoy your refreshing and vibrant watermelon feta salad!
