Ingredients
Watermelon Feta Salad
- 1.6 lb watermelon cut into cubes
- ¾ cup feta cut into small cubes
- ⅓ cup basil chopped
- balsamic glaze
Balsamic Glaze (optional)
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoon maple syrup
Instructions
Watermelon Feta Salad
- Cut the watermelon into cubes. Cut the feta into small cubes. Chop the basil.
- Add the ingredients to a bowl and mix. Serve on a plate and drizzle the balsamic glaze on top. Enjoy!
Balsamic Glaze (optional)
- If you want to prepare your own balsamic glaze, simply add the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup to a pot.
- Heat the pot using high heat and bring the balsamic reduction to a boil. Then reduce the heat a bit and let the balsamic reduction simmer for approx. 10 minutes until it is reduced by half.
- Let the balsamic glaze cool down and use it for the salad. Any excess can be stored in the refrigerator.
Notes
- I recommend making the balsamic glaze yourself, as most store-bought versions contain unnecessary and unhealthy ingredients. You can also prep it in advance and keep it in the refrigerator for your salad dressings!
- Combine the watermelon and feta shortly before serving. Otherwise, the salad can become very watery.
