Method

Prepare the watermelon by cutting it into cubes.
In a large bowl, mix the diced watermelon with the crumbled feta cheese and the chopped red onion, if using. Incorporate the fresh blueberries for added sweetness.
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.
Once everything is combined, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This resting time will allow the flavors to meld together.
When ready to serve, garnish with additional mint leaves as desired.

Notes

Pro Tips for Recipe Success

- Use cold watermelon – It makes the salad extra refreshing and crisp.

- Cut everything into bite-sized pieces – Especially helpful for little ones!

- Add feta last – This keeps it from getting too soft when mixing.

- Serve immediately – Watermelon can release a lot of juice over time, so this salad is best fresh.

When ready to serve, you can present the salad in a hollowed-out watermelon or on a large serving platter. For a festive touch, consider arranging the salad to resemble the American flag using blueberries and diced strawberries.
