Watermelon Feta and Blueberry Salad

Watermelon Feta and Blueberry Salad is one of our favorite summer salads. I start this salad by making an easy Lemon Vinaigrette. Then, I use a star cookie cutter to cut watermelon stars from thin slices of watermelon. Finally, I toss these all together with baby arugula, tangy feta cheese, and sweet blueberries. We like this salad for several reasons. First of all, I like that I can make this beautiful salad in just about fifteen minutes. Secondly, I like that I can make this salad ahead of time. I like to make it early in the day and add the dressing right before dinner. Thirdly, I like making this salad for all the patriotic American holidays. This is the perfect salad to serve for the Fourth of July. And, lastly, we all love the creamy feta, juicy watermelon, and sweet blueberries in this salad.

The Equipment I Used

• A Salad Spinner- Use this to dry your arugula. If the arugula is wet, the dressing won’t cling to it.
• A Small Jar- I use this to mix together my vinaigrette.

The Ingredients I Used for Watermelon Feta and Blueberry Salad

• Feta- Use a good quality feta cheese. My favorite is the French feta cheese that comes in brine at the cheese shop.
• Arugula- Buy baby arugula. I like the Earthbound Farms brand.
• Watermelon- Use seedless watermelon. If you want to cut out stars, first cut your watermelon into thin slices.
• Lemon- Use fresh lemon juice for the vinaigrette.
• Olive Oil- Be sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.

How I Made my Salad

• First, mixed together all the vinaigrette ingredients.
• Next, I sliced my watermelon thinly and cut out watermelon stars.
• Then, I tossed together all the ingredients in a big bowl.
