Notes
Storage instructions:
I like to serve it immediately or make it ahead of time chilled for an hour or two in the fridge and giving it a light toss before serving, as it is best enjoyed fresh with crisp watermelon.
Store the salad separately from the balsamic dressing as soon as it is made draining any excess liquid using an airtight container for 1 day in the fridge. The longer it sits the more the watermelon will become soggy.
How to make your own balsamic glaze reduction: In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of balsamic vinegar with ½ cup brown sugar. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes. Mixture should be reduced by half and coat the back of a metal spoon. Store covered in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
