Watermelon Summer Salad with Feta
This simple and refreshing watermelon salad is made of sweet watermelon, blueberries, creamy salty feta, fresh mint and basil. The lime-honey dressing brings this salad together, adding tang and a little extra punch. This watermelon feta salad is best prepared and served right away, but you
can make the dressing up to 3 days in advance and save it in the fridge.
