Watermelon, Blueberries, Apples, Feta, and a fresh lemon mint dressing combine to make this a refreshing summer salad that is perfect for a Patriotic Celebration! Don your best red, white, and blue, and whip up this amazing Watermelon and Blueberry Salad with feta for your next backyard gathering.
The first time I ever tried a watermelon and feta combination, was for a 4th of July celebration. Let’s just say that I was immediately addicted to the refreshing, crisp, and sweet watermelon taste when paired with salty feta. While that red and white combo was sure beautiful, I knew adding in a hint of blue would make elevate this salad even more! So on the following 4th of July, I tried it with some blueberries. I’ve been making it ever since!!
When tossed together with some fresh mint and a little tangy lemon/honey quick dressing, this bowl of goodness is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Summer time and gatherings are a perfect occasion for light salads that the whole family will enjoy. If your kids are anything like mine, they can eat their weight in watermelon. They were thrilled I was re-making this recipe the other day and that it was part of dinner!
I love how simple this all comes together, and how impressive it all looks.
Let’s get this 4th of July celebration started!
How to make Watermelon and Blueberry Salad with Feta:
Gather up these ingredients:
- cubed watermelon
- blueberries
- apples
- feta
- fresh mint
- lemon juice
- red wine vinegar
- honey
We’ll dice up the apple and whisk together a quick and easy vinaigrette. This includes the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and a dash of honey.
Assemble the watermelon, blueberries, and apples together in a large bowl or trifle dish.
Now toss in the fresh mint, and simple dressing. Give it a good stir! You could easily enjoy without the feta. But I wouldn’t! So toss the feta in last and serve.
What to serve with Watermelon and Blueberry Salad:
This refreshing salad pairs beautifully with a variety of grilled mains. I love it alongside Grilled Rosemary and Balsamic Chicken for a bright, flavorful dinner, or with hearty Taco Burgers for a fun twist on a summer meal.

This is a refreshing and delicious salad. We served it as a side dish with the Grilled Taco Burgers. It was a really yummy and summery meal.
Love this salad!! Perfect blend and perfect side dish in summer or even for dessert. Brought for a girls weekend and was big hit!!
Love to hear that, thank you Kristine!
Making this for my contribution at my first CRAWFISH BOIL this Independence Day! I KNOW it’s going to be beautiful and delish!
Woohoo!! Happy 4th of July!
I wish I could be there too. I think I should plan a nice 4th July in US.
In The Netherlands we celebrate the Kings birthday, which is also a mad event. Most people just wonder around getting drunk. However with my friends we usually organize a lunch. The theme is always the same . ORANGE.
Your salad is extraordinarily summery, and I love the colours
You know, I celebrated King’s Day in the Netherlands this year! It was so much fun. My family and I were visiting the town of Maartsen and had a great time watching the parade and festivities. The Dutch are my favorite!
Wahoo! Love this patriotic salad!
