~ Florida Watermelon Slices with Balsamic Syrup, Mint Oil & Feta Cheese
It’s about 90 something degrees just about every single day and the A/C barely cools us down. It’s been like that every day since summer kicked in and it’s days like these that call for a recipe like this watermelon, mint and feta salad from Freshfromflorida.com. It’s not only easy to make, but it is also refreshing, healthy, and perfect to serve for lunch or dinner. To be honest, it also looks very pretty! We’ve been known to devour an entire watermelon in one day, and now that I added the Florida Watermelon Slices with Balsamic Syrup, Mint Oil & Feta Cheese to my list of favorites, we’re going to have to start buying more than one watermelon at a time!
This recipe is one of the many that Fresh From florida features on its site. These recipes use the many fresh fruits, vegetables, and even seafood, grown right here in Florida. There’s also seasonal foods to pick from! It’s a Floridian perk that I’ve never taken for granted, especially during the summer. Right now we’ve been enjoying sweet corn, tomatoes with avocado, and tons of watermelon for desert and, more recently, salad, as seen below. This watermelon mint salad takes less than 20 minutes to make and uses fresh watermelon slices, fresh parsley and mint, balsamic vinegar, a touch of Florida grown sugar and topped with feta; it’s the perfect summer side dish! While it’s delicious enough to eat on its own, you can also pair it with grilled steaks or just about any seafood!
Whether you plan on grilling, having a small summer get together, or you’re simply packing a lunch for a picnic, fresh is always best, and you can’t go wrong with locally grown food. The Fresh From Florida and the Florida Department of Agriculture guarantees fresh food that makes any dish delicious! For this and many other fresh recipes visit Freshfromflorida.com .

I would have never thought to put balsamic vinegar and feta cheese on watermelon, but this looks surprisingly good. I love salt on watermelon so I bet this is amazing.
This looks really interesting to me because I never thought of dressing up watermelon. I usually just grab the salt shaker, lol. Thanks for sharing!
Looks so delicious and refreshing on a hot summer day. Our family loves watermelon so we’ll have to give this a try.
I have never heard of a combo like this! It looks interesting. I may have to try this sometime.
To me, nothing is more refreshing than watermelon in the summer. I’m not a Florida girl but my grandparents used to send us Florida produce all year long. Boy, was it wanted.
This looks so good and very refreshing. As a Fl girl i do love me some watermelon.
I love watermelon and feta together, the salt really brings out the sweetness! I’ve never tried it with all the other ingredients but I’m sure it’s delicious 🙂
