For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the watermelon slices briefly before cubing. The slight char adds a smoky dimension. If you don't have white balsamic vinegar, you can substitute it with regular balsamic vinegar, but use it sparingly as it has a stronger flavor. Consider adding a handful of toasted pecans or walnuts for a delightful crunch. Feta cheese can be used as a substitute if blue cheese is not available.
