  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups ripe watermelon, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled and sliced into thin rounds or half-moons
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries, rinsed and patted dry
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fresh Ingredients: Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes, ensuring the pieces are firm but juicy. Peel and slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, removing seeds if preferred. Rinse the blueberries gently and pat dry to avoid excess moisture.
  2. Crumble the Feta: Use a fork to crumble the feta cheese into small chunks to add salty creaminess that balances the sweetness of the fruits.
  3. Combine the Components: In a large salad bowl, gently toss the watermelon, cucumber, and blueberries together. Add the crumbled feta and torn fresh mint leaves for a fragrant enhancement.
  4. Dress the Salad: In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat evenly without crushing the delicate ingredients.

Notes

  • Choose ripe watermelon and blueberries for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Keep all ingredients refrigerated until ready to assemble for a refreshingly cool salad.
  • Toss the salad gently to avoid crushing the blueberries or watermelon cubes.
  • Taste before serving and adjust seasoning with salt, lime juice, or pepper as desired.
  • Serve immediately to preserve crisp textures and vibrant colors.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; keep dressing separate if possible.
  • Freezing is not recommended as the fruits will lose their texture when thawed.
  • This salad is best enjoyed cold or at room temperature and should not be reheated.
