Watermelon, Blueberry & Feta Salad
A Refreshing PATRIOTIC Side Dish!
Labor Day is here. That means the end of summer, and the last of the big BBQs. So, get out your flags and bunting, and let’s make another Patriotic splash! I’m sharing with you today a recipe for a delicious and refreshing red, white, and blue salad that is wonderful anytime, but especially fun for those Star-Spangled holidays–Watermelon, Blueberry & Feta Salad. It is super quick, super easy, and super tasty.
Here’s What You Need:
Watermelon, Blueberries, Feta Cheese, and Balsamic Vinegar. Can you believe it? There are only 4 ingredients.
The Directions:
Cut your watermelon into large rectangles, triangles, crescents, or whatever shape you’d like. Stars perhaps? Place the watermelon on a platter. Top with blueberries and Feta cheese. Drizzle with Balsamic vinegar. Easy peasy, right?
This watermelon salad will not only be a big hit for its fabulous flavor, but also for its fun and festive appearance.
Tip for Cutting Watermelon
If you are just wanting bite-sized chunks of watermelon for this salad or any other time, try this easy cutting tip.
- Cut your watermelon in half.
- Using a knife, cut along the outer edge of the red, along the rind.
- Now, take the knife and cut through the ripe fruit (but not through the rind), making strips or vertical lines.
- Then cut perpendicular lines, so it resembles a checker board.
- Scoop out the watermelon using a large spoon. Scoop horizontally to make chunks.
…
All the juices stay within the rind making for easy clean-up.

Such a refreshing and great looking snack to have in this crazy heat we have. 🙂
Yes, it is, Enzie! We certainly have had heat of late…I don’t like it. LOL But this watermelon salad is awesome! 🙂
Wow, I wouldn’t have ever thought to put watermelons in a salad. Great post! Definitely bookmarked 🙂
This is SO good, Sharon–very refreshing. Give it a try! 🙂
Oh yummy! I love watermelon and blueberries. Looks like the perfect end-of-summer salad!
Definitely, Chrissa! 🙂 Tasty and refreshing.
I’ve had watermelon with feta, but I love that you added the blueberries! It looks beautiful and I’m sure it’s delicious!
I eat all the watermelon I can get during the season. I simply love watermelon! I can hardly wait to try this recipe. Your photos are so beautiful!
This looks so delicious!! Yumm!
Oh yum! That watermelon looks so good, I could taste the juices! Great idea to make a simple salad for a patriotic holiday.
Yum, yum, hurray!!
My mouth is watering. I printed it off and definately will try it. I am so not creative and would never have combine thoe 4 together Thanks
Looks great! I am going to try this. Do you know how it would be with reduced balsamic?
My thoughts would be that it would be fantastic! Great idea, Stephanie. 🙂
This is a fun, refreshing salad. Great recipe for this Labor Day and party-planning.
So glad you think so…enjoy! 🙂
I’m not a fan of watermelon, but I LOVE blueberries and feta cheese…so…hmmm…the jury’s out on this one! But it LOOKS beautiful!!!
Nice combination of flavors. Blueberries are so healthy for us. This is a great salad for a hot summer day.
P.S. Suggestion is to lose the busy background. I think it takes away from your lovely blog.
Star-cut watermelon? Delightful. 🙂
Great idea for Patriotic holidays, right?! 🙂
I recently, like within the last year, realized how much I love balsamic vinegar. I’m obsessed with it now. I eat it just with cucumbers and tomatoes if nothing else. This looks DELICIOUS!
You’ll love it Heather! So good. 🙂
Oh my gosh, this looks so yummy and festive!
I’m enjoying my time as a co-host at the #HomeMattersParty again this month 🙂

You’ll love it, Shann, so refreshing and delicious–and it screams summer! 🙂
I love a dish that is both flavourful and easy to make! Perfect for the end of summer. Looking forward to another month cohosting at #HomeMattersParty!
I have some watermelon in my refrigerator right now and this recipe is perfect. Love hosting #HomeMattersParty with you.
I would never even thing to combine these ingredients! Sounds great though.. You know what would probably be a good add? Some mint leaves. or maybe some basil? Yummy – can’t wait to give it a try. #HomeMattersParty
Do give it a try, Chelsea, it’s delicious. Mint or basil…may have to try that. 🙂
wow!! This looks yummy!! I love all things watermelon 🙂
I’m a huge watermelon fan too! 🙂
That sounds perfect for summer potlucks! YUM!! #HomeMattersParty
The blueberry and watermelon combo sounds phenomenal!
We did this Egyptian – themed watermelon salad for our Girl Scout troop. You should check it out! https://useresourceswisely.com/2015/07/10/playing-the-past-badge-ancient-egypt-themed-snacks/
I love having my Flag Cake (I make it every year) for a side dish! I would so try this though-I really love feta cheese 🙂 #HomeMattersParty
This looks like a delicious recipe to try. I got a watermelon cutter to review from Amazon that makes cutting a watermelon or cantaloupe super quick and easy. (I’m sure you’ve seen an ad for it on TV. It WORKS!)
Yum! This looks delicious! Love watermelon, especially with the addition of feta! Thanks for hosting this great party!’#HomeMattersParty
Looks so yummy and refreshing, Lorelai.
