Chef's Tips
For a more complex flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the salad.
If you don't have time to make balsamic glaze, you can use store-bought.
Chill the watermelon before preparing the salad for an extra refreshing treat.
You can add toasted pine nuts or almonds for added crunch and flavor.
If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a drizzle of honey directly to the salad.
