(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Sides

Ingredients

  • Watermelon Slices:
  • 6-12 slices of watermelon
  • 4-6 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
  • Mint Oil:
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 20-25 fresh mint leaves
  • 2 tbsp. fresh parsley
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Balsamic Vinegar Syrup:
  • 1 1/2 cups balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tbsp. sugar

Directions

  1. Watermelon slices: Arrange slices of watermelon on individual plates. Drizzle small amounts of mint oil and balsamic syrup over the watermelon slices. Add the feta to the top of the sliced melon. Serve cold.

  2. Mint Oil: Combine all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.

  3. Balsamic Vinegar Syrup: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine vinegar and sugar. Bring ingredients to a boil and turn down heat so the vinegar won’t boil over. Continue to cook for about 20 minutes until the syrup coats the back of the spoon. You should end up with about 1/3 cup of syrup. Let cool to room temp.
