Ingredients You Need:

- 1/4 cup of red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup of olive oil

How To Make It:
First, cut your watermelon into cubes and crumble up the feta cheese. Next, chop up the mint leaves and cut the red onion into thin slices.
Next, add the watermelon, feta cheese, red onion, and mint leaves into a big bowl and mix them all together. For the next step, you’re going to drizzle the olive oil over top, and then add some pepper and salt: as much as you like. Mix it together again from there.
Right before you sit down to eat, add a little balsamic to the top. Not only does that add a bit more to the overall flavor; it enhances the presentation.
Tips:
- For extra crunch, add some toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds.
- Serve chilled for the best experience.
