Ingredients
  

4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

ΒΌ cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional)

Pinch of black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon: Begin by cutting the seedless watermelon into 1-inch cubes. For a delightful twist, consider using a melon baller to create round, bite-sized balls for an elegant presentation.

    Mix the Strawberries: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced strawberries with half of the finely chopped mint leaves. Pour in the honey and gently stir to combine, allowing the strawberries to marinate in the sweetness for a few minutes.

      Assemble the Cups: Choose a large serving plate or platter to arrange your dessert. Start by creating an attractive base layer with the watermelon cubes, grouping them evenly.

        Add the Strawberry Mixture: Spoon a generous helping of the marinated strawberry mixture on top of each watermelon cube, ensuring a colorful and appetizing presentation.

          Top with Feta: Generously sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over each watermelon and strawberry cup, creating a delightful contrast of flavors.

            Garnish: Complete each cup by sprinkling the remaining chopped mint leaves and a light pinch of black pepper for added depth of flavor.

              Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: If desired, finish your creation with a delicate drizzle of balsamic glaze over the top, adding a touch of sweet acidity that perfectly complements the fresh ingredients.
