Ingredients
  

4 cups diced watermelon

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon: Start by cutting the watermelon into bite-sized cubes or balls. If you prefer a more refined presentation, use a melon baller for uniform round shapes.

    Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced watermelon, crumbled feta cheese, chopped mint leaves, and finely chopped red onion.

      Dress the Salad: Drizzle the balsamic glaze and olive oil over the salad mixture. Gently toss everything together, ensuring the watermelon and feta are well-coated while being careful not to break the watermelon pieces.

        Season: Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. The feta cheese will add some natural saltiness, so adjust according to your preference.

          Assemble the Cups: Using small dessert cups or hollowed-out cucumbers, gently spoon the watermelon-feta salad mixture into the cups. If desired, top with toasted pine nuts for added crunch and flavor.

            Garnish and Serve: Lastly, garnish each cup with a small mint leaf on top for a visual pop. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.
