Ingredients

Scale

3 cups of watermelon (diced into bite-sized pieces)

1/4 cup of red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup of fresh blueberries

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

To begin, prepare the watermelon by cutting it into cubes. For an appealing presentation, consider hollowing out a watermelon and using the rind as a bowl.
In a large bowl, mix the diced watermelon with the crumbled feta cheese and the chopped red onion, if using. At this stage, incorporate the fresh blueberries for added sweetness.
Next, drizzle the olive oil over the salad. Gently toss the mixture to combine the ingredients, being careful not to break the watermelon pieces too much.

Notes

Once everything is combined, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 10 to 15 minutes. This resting time will allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
When ready to serve, you can present the salad in the hollowed-out watermelon or on a large serving platter. Garnish with additional mint leaves as desired.
For added variety, feel free to include other ingredients like cucumbers for extra crunch, or a squeeze of lime juice for a burst of zesty flavor. For a festive touch, consider arranging the salad to resemble the American flag using blueberries and diced strawberries.

Enjoy this refreshing salad at your Fourth of July celebration!
