Ingredients
  

Watermelon Blueberry Feta Salad
  • 6 cup watermelon
  • 1.5 cup fresh blueberries
  • 0.75 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 sea salt pinch
  • 1 black pepper to taste

Method
 

Build the salad
  1. Place the watermelon cubes and blueberries into a large serving bowl.
  2. Add the crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh mint leaves.
Make the lime-honey dressing
  1. In a small bowl, whisk the lime juice with honey, olive oil, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until smooth and glossy.
Dress, toss, and chill
  1. Drizzle the dressing over the salad evenly so the fruit and feta are coated.
  2. Gently toss the salad until combined, taking care not to crush the watermelon.
  3. Refrigerate the salad for 15 minutes before serving so the flavors meld.
  4. Garnish with extra mint and feta if desired right before serving.

Notes

For the freshest texture, cube the watermelon right before assembling and keep everything chilled until tossing. Refrigerate covered up to 1 day (the watermelon will soften). Freezing is not recommended. For a dairy-free option, use a firm vegan feta-style cheese substitute in the same amount.
