- 1 (7-to 8-pound) watermelon
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice

- Combine Everything: Pour the dressing over the watermelon, add chopped mint and crumbled feta cheese, and gently toss to combine.
- Finish with Balsamic Syrup: Drizzle the cooled balsamic syrup over the salad before serving.
- Serve Immediately: Best enjoyed fresh. Serve right after preparation for the best taste.
