I love a good fruit salad and this one is super simple – Blueberry Watermelon Salad with feta and mint. Just six ingredients and thrown together in 10 minutes.
If you haven’t tried a watermelon and feta salad yet, you are seriously missing out!
We’re also adding blueberries, and mint – trust me it’s freakin’ delicious.
I remember something similar being served at a work party and thought “What the heck? You’re putting watermelon and feta together?!” I’ll admit I was a little scared. But I tried the new-to-me concoction and I couldn’t believe how delicious it was.
Salty + Sweet = Heaven.

This watermelon blueberry feta salad is super simple and takes about 10 minutes, with cutting up the watermelon taking up a majority of your time.
How to Cut a Watermelon
Speaking of cutting up watermelon, my friend Alexa over at Fooduzzi has an awesome little tutorial on her site for the easiest and quickest way to cut watermelon – see here.
- Using a large sharp knife, slice watermelon in half.
- Place cut side down and slice into about 1″ thick slices.
- Then turn cutting board to cut the watermelon in the opposite direction, so you end up with little 1″ squares.
- Pull the watermelon sticks out and cut into cubes for the salad.
It’s so easy! I swear I’ll never go back to cutting watermelon any other way.
Plus the cubes are perfect for preparing this watermelon salad recipe.
Watermelon Feta Salad Ingredients
- sweet watermelon
- blueberries
- feta
- fresh mint
- freshly squeezed lime juice
- olive oil
Super simple, right?
How to make the watermelon salad
After you’ve chopped the watermelon the salad comes together in no time.
In a large bowl, just toss together the watermelon cubes, blueberries, feta, chopped mint and drizzle with a little bit of olive oil-lime mixture. You could also leave the oil out and just do the lime for some extra flavor but totally up to you.
You can also add some salt and pepper if you’d like. And I’ve also seen variations with diced red onion.
Either way this watermelon feta salad is super fresh and perfect for any summertime gathering.
Perhaps at your fourth of July cookout…
