Ingredients
- 3 cups watermelon diced
- 1 cup feta cheese vegan
- 1/4 cup mint leaves roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
- 1 cup blueberries fresh
Method
- 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.
- 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.
Notes
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.
