Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon cubed
- 2 small cucumbers halved and thinly sliced
- ½ cup blueberries fresh
- ½ cup feta cheese mini cubed, or use mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tbsp. balsamic glaze
- ½ whole lemon
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- salt and cracked black pepper to taste
- basil leaves for garnishing
Instructions
- Place the diced watermelon, cucumber in a bowl first.
- Add the blueberries, cubed feta, and basil leaves around the watermelon and cucumber pieces.
- Season with fresh cracked black pepper and salt, then squeeze some lemon juice on top, drizzle with olive oil, balsamic glaze and serve.
Notes
- Add a little crunch to the watermelon salad with a handful of toasted walnuts, pinenuts, or cashews.
- You can add additional fruit to this such as strawberries or cherries.
- Don’t like basil? Try adding mint to the salad!
- If you don’t have lemon, you can swap for lime.
- Avocado makes for a great addition to this watermelon feta salad.
- I recommend juicing your lemon instead of using bottled lemon juice. Bottled lemon juice does not have the same bright taste to it.
- Got a melon baller? You can make this salad look a bit fancier if you’d like to. You can even hollow out the watermelon with the baller then serve the salad inside of the empty watermelon!
