Watermelon Season Done Right
Oh, how I love watermelon season! There’s just something so spectacular about cutting into a cold watermelon on a hot summer day and taking that first sweet, juicy bite. The taste is so refreshing and satisfying!
I buy a big juicy watermelon almost every time I’m at the farmer’s market or grocery store throughout the summer.I know that if I cut it, we will eat it. I mostly cut it into cubes and keep it in a sealed container in the fridge so it’s ready to go at a cravings notice.
We love having watermelon as a side with our meals, especially when we grill or smoke meats. It compliments the salty heat of the meat so well. Sometimes we’ll serve it as is, but I sure love kicking it up a knotch by making this watermelon feta salad with fresh mint and a balsamic glaze.
The salty, creaminess of quality feta combined with the sweet crunch of a perfect summer watermelon along with fresh mint and the tang of the balsamic glaze is just so fabulous and refreshing. It’s the perfect side dish to take to a summer potluck.

Is Balsamic glaze the same as Balsamic vinegar?
Hi, Marge! It’s not the same thing. But you can find it in the same aisle, usually. Here’s a sample of what balsamic glaze looks like. Or you can make your own! Hope this helps! Enjoy!
