Description
A refreshing summer salad combining sweet watermelon, tangy feta, bright blueberries, and aromatic herbs with a zesty honey-lime dressing. Quick to assemble and perfect for meals or creative uses like tacos or breakfast toasts.
Ingredients
7 to 8 cups seedless watermelon – cut into ¾ inch cubes
Fresh mint and basil leaves, thinly sliced – plus more for garnish
1 cup crumbled feta cheese – plus an extra ¼ cup for sprinkling
1 ½ cups fresh blueberries – washed and dried
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 ½ limes – juiced and zested
1 to 2 tablespoons honey – adjust to your sweet tooth
A pinch of salt
Instructions
Chop watermelon into ¾ inch cubes and add to a large bowl
Add washed blueberries and crumbled feta cheese, gently mixing to preserve fruit texture
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, honey, and salt to form dressing
Toss dressing with salad ingredients just before serving
Garnish with extra mint and basil leaves
Notes
Use freshly squeezed lime juice for maximum brightness
Adjust honey to balance saltiness of feta and tartness of limes

Leftovers pair surprisingly well with grilled vegetables or over whole grain toast
