Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces by half and becomes syrupy (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool.
Layer the mixed greens and cubed watermelon in a large bowl.
Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then gently toss to combine.
Top with crumbled feta cheese and drizzle the cooled balsamic glaze over the salad just before serving.
Enjoy Immediately! Serve fresh and savor the delicious flavors.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

Use ripe but firm watermelon to prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
Save time by using store-bought balsamic glaze instead of making your own.
Want a twist? Swap basil for fresh mint to give the salad a different, refreshing flavor.
