Ingredients
  

4 cups of seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 cup of feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 cup of fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Optional: 1/4 cup of pine nuts or walnuts, toasted for an extra crunch

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Rinse the seedless watermelon and fresh mint leaves under cold water. Cut the watermelon into uniform 1-inch cubes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl for easy tossing.

    Add Feta Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the watermelon cubes, ensuring a delightful mix of flavors in each bite.

      Mix in Mint: Gently fold in the finely chopped fresh mint leaves. This will enhance the dish's fresh aroma and elevate its refreshing character.

        Season the Mixture: Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the watermelon and feta mixture. Gently toss the ingredients together until well combined, taking care not to mash the watermelon. Adjust the balsamic glaze to suit your taste — feel free to add more for extra sweetness.

          Add Crunch (Optional): If using nuts, sprinkle the toasted pine nuts or walnuts over the top of the mix for a delightful crunch and added texture.

            Taste and Adjust: Carefully season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Keep in mind that feta cheese has a natural saltiness, so taste the mixture before adding too much salt.

              Serve: Using toothpicks or small skewers, assemble individual bites by skewering one watermelon cube, one piece of feta cheese, and a mint leaf. Arrange these on a vibrant serving platter for an appealing presentation.

                Enjoy: These refreshing bites can be served right away or chilled in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for an invigorating treat.
