Ingredients
  

For Balsamic Glaze:

  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey

For Salad:

  • 4 cups seedless watermelon bite-sized cubes
  • 4 cups mixed baby salad greens
  • ¼ cup fresh basil thinly sliced
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Mix the balsamic vinegar and honey. Heat over medium and let it simmer gently. Stir occasionally and cook for 8-10 minutes until it reduces by half and thickens to a syrupy consistency. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool.
  • Arrange the mixed baby greens and watermelon cubes in a large serving bowl.
  • Sprinkle the salad with salt and black pepper, then gently toss to combine.
  • Crumble the feta cheese over the salad and drizzle with the cooled balsamic glaze right before serving.
  • Serve immediately!

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • For the best texture, choose a ripe but firm watermelon to prevent it from becoming too watery.
  • Save time by using a store-bought balsamic glaze if you’re in a pinch.
  • Want a twist? Swap the basil for fresh mint for a refreshing variation on the classic flavors.
