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:
- Add cubed watermelon, blueberries, feta, and mint to a large bowl.
- 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.
- Just before serving toss fruit and cheese together. Drizzle with dressing and toss again to coat fruit with dressing. Serve immediately.
