Ready Time

15 mins

Yields

6 servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups watermelon chunks
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
1 tablespoon honey
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Start by placing the watermelon chunks on a large serving platter or individual plates, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the fresh mint leaves, crumbled feta cheese, chopped basil leaves, and chopped nuts evenly over the watermelon.

In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic glaze and honey until well combined.

Drizzle the mixture over the top of the watermelon and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss the ingredients together, making sure not to bruise the watermelon.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Slice into individual servings and serve chilled.

Notes

Use a ripe but firm watermelon for the best results, as it will hold its shape better. If using walnuts instead of pecans, be aware that they have a stronger flavor and may overpower the dish.

Make sure to chop the nuts finely so they’re evenly distributed.

For a fancier look, arrange the watermelon chunks in a pattern on the platter or individual plates. You can also garnish with additional fresh herbs like mint or basil for added color and flavor.

If serving at a party, consider making individual pizzas on small plates or skewers for easy grabbing.

Letting the flavors meld together in the refrigerator is key, so don’t skip this step!
