Watermelon Feta Salad Recipe with Red Onion, Mint, Dill and Balsamic
This watermelon feta salad recipe with red onion, fresh fragrant mint and dill, and balsamic glaze makes a classic Greek watermelon and feta salad with an Italian twist, a generous drizzle of Modena balsamic vinegar glaze. This makes a fantastic light lunch or side to seafood, fish or barbecued meats. In the traditional salad, the watermelon is soaked in the classic Greek spirit, ouzo. We’ve skipped that step, but feel free to indulge.
