Sweet and juicy watermelon pairs beautifully with salty feta cheese! Blueberries add an extra bite of sweetness and a pop of color. Drizzle the whole thing with honey lime vinaigrette and enjoy your refreshing Watermelon, Blueberry and Feta Salad!

  • 6 c. cubed watermelon
  • 2 c. fresh blueberries
  • 1 c. feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 T. fresh mint, or basil, chiffonade
  • 2 T. fresh lime juice
  • 1 T. fresh lemon juice
  • 3 T. olive oil
  • 1 T. honey
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Add cubed watermelon, blueberries, feta, and mint (or basil) to a large bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, add lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt and pepper. Whisk until blended. Add more salt and pepper to taste.

My parent's neighbors have several blueberry bushes that produce an abundant amount of blueberries every summer.  They are so gracious to allow my parents to pick any amount of blueberries they like.  So each summer, we are looking for delicious blueberry recipes.  I came across the above on Pinterest.  While I wouldn't consider this a most fabulous, must have at every meal, it's tasty enough to enjoy the blueberries in salad as a healthy alternative of something to eat.
