Ingredients

Dressing:

1 Tbsp white vinegar $0.02
2 Tbsp olive oil $0.34
1/2 tsp salt $0.01
1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper $0.08
2 Tbsp Homemade Balsamic Glaze $0.58

Salad:

1/2 small watermelon, diced (about 4 cups) $1.98
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese $2.88
1 cucumber, peeled and diced $0.64
1/2 red onion, finely julienned $0.46
2 Tbsp minced fresh mint $0.89
2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley $0.16

Instructions

To make the dressing, combine white vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl. Whisk to emulsify.
Dice watermelon into 1/2-inch cubes.
Gather diced watermelon, crumbled feta cheese, diced cucumber, julienned onion, minced parsley and mint.
Pour dressing over watermelon salad components.
Gently toss the salad in a large mixing bowl until combined. Be careful to not mash up all of the watermelon cubes! I like to let my watermelon feta salad sit in the refrigerator, covered, for a bit (even up to an hour or so!) to let the flavors really meld.
Drizzle each portion with a generous swirl of Homemade Balsamic Glaze. Top with extra salt and pepper if needed and enjoy!
