Ingredients
Method
Step 1: Prepare the Watermelon
- Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes. For the best texture, place the cubes in a colander over a bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Step 2: Make the Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth and fully combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Salad
- Place the watermelon and blueberries in a large serving bowl. Add the feta cheese, fresh mint, and optional greens or nuts. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until evenly coated.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
- Top with additional feta, blueberries, and mint if desired. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and texture.
Chef's Tips
- Use block feta packed in brine for the creamiest texture.
- Chill all ingredients before assembling.
- Add the dressing just before serving.
- Store ingredients separately if preparing ahead.
- Add nuts and seeds at the last minute to keep them crunchy.
Recipe Notes
- Fresh blueberries work best.
- Frozen blueberries may release excess liquid and affect presentation.
- This salad is naturally vegetarian and gluten-free.
- For a vegan version, replace feta with avocado or jicama.
