Watermelon, Blueberry, & Feta Salad

Follow the Fresh at your local store and grab these fresh items, you won’t be disappointed. My Watermelon, Blueberry, & Feta Salad is spring perfection! The recipe was inspired by the Florida Fruit Salad with Lime and Honey recipe I found on the Fresh From Florida website.

There are tons of recipes available on their site. Everything from starters to entrees and sides are listed. If you can recall, I shared a fun Blueberry Parfait last year that was a total hit with the family! Follow THE Fresh From Florida’s social platforms I have shared below to find fantastic ideas featuring Florida fruits and vegetables and to watch easy how-to videos for quick and healthy recipes. I don’t know about you, but I am a visual person.

Florida farmers make it easy for everyone to eat fresh produce year-round. Using fresh produce and ingredients always helps to enhance your recipe creation. Just try it with seasonings, herbs and spices to start and you’ll notice a huge difference with your quality of dishes.

The feta cheese I used for this recipe was straight from the fresh cheese section at my local Fresh Market. I do this with my cheeses & deli meats weekly. Yes, I go to the store more often (weekly) than others, but the quality of the ingredients and the flavor profiles are accelerated because of how fresh they are.

Ingredients:

• 6 cups watermelon cut into cubes
• 1 T. honey
• 2 cups Fresh From Florida blueberries
• 1 c. feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 T. fresh mint
• 2 T. fresh lime juice
• 1 T. fresh lemon juice
• 3 T. olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Add cubed watermelon, blueberries, feta, and mint to a large bowl.
2. In a separate small bowl, add lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt and pepper. Whisk until blended. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
3. Just before serving toss fruit and cheese together. Drizzle with dressing and toss again to coat fruit with dressing. Serve immediately.
