Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups Watermelon, cubed Look for a ripe, seedless melon for the best flavor. You can substitute with cantaloupe if preferred.
  • 2 cups Blueberries Fresh is best, but frozen blueberries can also work in a pinch.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Mint, chopped Can be substituted with basil.
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice Lemon juice is a good substitute if needed.
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese, crumbled Go for goat cheese for a stronger flavor or leave it out for a vegan version.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the watermelon in half. Use a melon baller or a knife to slice it into bite-sized cubes, removing the rind.
  2. Gently rinse the blueberries under cool water. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. Take a handful of fresh mint leaves, stack them, roll them tightly, and slice them thinly (this technique is called chiffonade).
Mixing & Serving
  1. In a large serving bowl, combine the watermelon cubes, blueberries, and chopped mint.
  2. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the salad. Add crumbled feta cheese on top and gently toss to combine.
  3. Transfer the salad to a serving dish or enjoy it straight from the bowl.

Notes

Choose ripe melon for the best flavor. You can prepare the watermelon and blueberries in advance, but add the mint, lime juice, and feta just before serving. This salad pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, fish, or on top of greens.
