Watermelon, Feta, and Mint Salad

This salad is delicious, even Sally ate it! It is so easy to make and even helped us use some of our mint from the garden. We also used some mint to make some Bootlegger drinks, although we had to make some minor (major:) ) adjustments to the recipe. Give that a try too, sorry no picture!


   

Watermelon, Feta, Mint, and Balsamic Vinegar Glaze Salad
* 8 cups 3/4-inch Cubes Seedless Watermelon
    * 7 ounces, weight Package Feta Cheese, Crumbled
    * 2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar Glaze
    * A Handful Of Chopped Fresh Mint For Garnish
    * Pepper To Taste

Preparation Instructions

Toss watermelon and feta together on a platter. Drizzle with balsamic glaze* and sprinkle with pepper (to taste) and mint.

Ingredient tip: Balsamic vinegar glaze can be found in the vinegar section at many supermarkets. If unavailable, boil 3/4 cup of balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan until reduced to 3 tablespoons, 6 to 7 minutes.

Bootlegger Drinks
32 ounce Sunkist Lemonade (Use the can of frozen concentrate and make as instructed)
A handful of mint leaves

**Put the lemonade and mint leaves in a blender and mix until the mint leaves are fully chopped. Then add Vodka to a glass, top with the lemonade and mint mixture, and top with a splash of club soda or 7Up. Perfect summer drink, if you make it right! :)
