Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups watermelon diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves roughly chopped ( mainly for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • 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.
