Watermelon and Blueberry Feta Salad
This watermelon and blueberry feta salad is the perfect summer salad. The crisp watermelon is refreshing and compliments the tangy feta. The basil balsamic vinaigrette lends a little savory to the sweetness of the watermelon. This salad is a summertime must.
Crisp summer flavors
This salad came as an inspiration from a salad I love at a local restaurant in Annapolis. The watermelon is perfect for the summer and blueberries are the perfect complement to the crisp watermelon. This salad is simple and satisfying. The watermelon blueberry and feta salad come together in truly little time, leaving you with more time to enjoy the summer sun!
feta watermelon combo
Feta is the perfect cheese to pair with watermelon. Feta is creamy and tangy, and the contrast is so good. Then we add almonds for a crunch and basil balsamic dressing. The basil is slightly sweet and very refreshing with the balsamic vinegar.
