How to make Watermelon Cubes with Feta & Mint

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: goat cheese

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Goat cheese offers a similar tangy flavor with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil provides healthy fats while being cost-effective.

balsamic vinegar

🥗Healthier: red wine vinegar

💰Cheaper: apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is less expensive and adds a nice acidity.

Slice the watermelon and cut it into cubes, aiming for perfect squares if possible.

Grab a melon baller to scoop out half melon balls from the watermelon cubes to place the feta cheese inside.

If you don't have a melon baller, you can use a teaspoon or a knife to cut out incisions.

Use a whole 250 gram block of feta cheese, which will roughly make about 40 squares for serving.

Try to find small mint leaves for garnish, as they look better and are less overpowering.

Prepare the balsamic glaze by bringing 2 cups of balsamic vinegar to a boil with half a cup of brown sugar.

Once boiled, reduce the heat to a simmer for about 30 to 35 minutes until it thickens to a glaze consistency.
