Watermelon & Feta Salad with Balsamic Reduction~

On a hot summer day, there are few fruits more refreshing than a watermelon. That's one of the reasons this watermelon salad is so perfect. It's a bit of an unusual combination, but the sweetness of the watermelon mixed with the saltiness of the feta, a little bite of onion all drizzled with tangy sweet balsamic reduction works really well :) :)

Ingredients:

• ½ a large watermelon,
• ½ cup of red onion; sliced,
• 1 tablespoon of basil, chopped,
• 1 tablespoon of mint, chopped,
• ¾ cup of feta cheese,
• 1-2 tablespoon of olive oil,
• 1-2 tablespoon of balsamic reduction.

Instructions:

1. At first set out a large bowl.
2. Cut watermelon in bite size pieces. Add it to the bowl.
3. Add sliced onions, basil, mint, and feta cheese to your bowl.
4. Drizzle the olive oil to coat salad and toss.
5. You can either drizzle the balsamic over the whole salad and toss it before you serve, or you can dish out the salad first and then drizzle the balsamic reduction over each plate :) :)

Tips:

Picking a good watermelon can be a bit tricky and there is nothing worse than picking a bad one. Here is what you need to know:

Pick one that looks dull, shiny means that it's not ripe yet. Watermelons develop a “field spot” where it rest on the ground in the field. This spot should be a creamy yellow color when it's ripe. A ripe watermelon is a heavy watermelon. When you tap it, it should sound hollow. This salad is can be really casual but can also be an extraordinary dish if you plate it up nicely :D :D
