Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon
  • 1 cup black olives pitted and halved
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup feta cheese cubed or crumbled I like danish that's the creamy one.
  • Fresh mint leaves or basil leaves
  • jalapeno sliced. optional
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large serving bowl, combine the cubed watermelon, black olives, and thinly sliced red onion.
  • Add the cubed or crumbled feta cheese to the bowl.
  • If you're using them, sprinkle the thinly sliced chilies over the salad for a bit of heat.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring the watermelon and feta are well-coated but still retain their shape.
  • Garnish with fresh mint leaves (or basil if you prefer)
  • Serve immediately, or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavours to meld together. Just make sure to give it a gentle stir before serving if it has been chilled.
