This Balsamic & Feta Watermelon Salad is incredibly refreshing. The salad includes watermelon soaked in freshly squeezed lime juice and balsamic vinegar. It’s topped with flaky salt, creamy and mild feta made from sheep’s milk, a drizzle of Balsamic of Modena, and aromatic mint leaves. The balsamic vinegar in this recipe really enhances the sweetness of the watermelon. The lime juice and flaky salt is not only a mouth watering combination, but adds much needed tartness.
It’s the perfect dish to serve if you’re hosting a party or bringing a dish to a beach picnic.
