Ingredients
  

1 small seedless watermelon

200g feta cheese, crumbled

Fresh mint leaves (about 1 cup, loosely packed)

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

A pinch of sea salt

Freshly cracked black pepper (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon: Start by cutting the watermelon into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1.5 inches each. Aim for uniformity to ensure even presentation.

    Assemble the Bites: On a serving platter, arrange half of the watermelon cubes. Sprinkle a generous amount of crumbled feta cheese over the watermelon.

      Add Mint: Tuck a fresh mint leaf on top of each watermelon and feta layer. The mint will add a refreshing note that pairs perfectly with the sweet watermelon.

        Drizzle with Balsamic: Gently drizzle the balsamic glaze over the assembled bites. This will add a beautiful sheen and a tangy sweetness that elevates the flavors.

          Season: Finally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper (if desired) over the bites for added depth.

            Chill and Serve: For the best taste, let the bites chill in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy these delightful summer snacks at your next picnic or gathering!
