Number Of Ingredients 6

1 Galia melon, cut into ½" cubes (about 3 ½ cups)
1 cup strawberries, halved
¼ cup fresh mint, shredded or chopped
3-4 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
Juice of ½ lemon
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

Steps:

  • Using a sharp knife, cut a round off the bottom and top of the melon so that the melon is stable on the cutting board.
  • Once the melon is stable, use your knife to cut the skin off, following along the curve of the melon.
  • When the melon's skin has been completely removed, cut the melon in half.
  • Use a spoon to scoop the seeds out of the center of the melon.
  • Once the seeds have been disposed of, use your knife to cut the melon into strips, then dice it into ½" cubes.
  • Transfer the melon to a bowl.
  • Add the halved strawberries and mint to the melon bowl.
  • Juice the lemon on top of the fruit, being careful to ensure no seeds end up in the salad.
  • Sprinkle the feta cheese into the salad.
  • Toss using tongs.
  • Drizzle the balsamic glaze on top of the salad, and serve immediately.

I stopped at a deli and ordered a meal that came with this salad. The salad was so different that I didn't even want to try it. I did try it and loved it! I created my own version at home. Everyone loves it! You can use spinach leaves entirely if you prefer, or mix in any kind of greens you like.
