Ingredients

  • ½ medium watermelon cut into star shapes or cubed (about 8 cups)
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • 6 ounces feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
  • Flaky sea salt for finishing

For Lime Dressing

  • 1 lime zest and juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon agave syrup or honey
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Cut the watermelon into ¾-inch thick slices. Using a star-shaped cookie cutter, press out star shapes and transfer to a large bowl. Alternatively, cut the watermelon into cubes of similar size. Reserve any remaining watermelon scraps for another use.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the zest and juice of a lime, olive oil, agave, and salt until combined.
  • Layer the blueberries and watermelon into a serving bowl. Top with crumbled feta cheese, then drizzle on the dressing. Finish with fresh chopped mint and basil, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Serve immediately.
