Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole mini watermelons
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut each mini watermelon in half horizontally and carefully scoop out the fruit using a melon baller or a spoon, leaving about 1/2 inch of the flesh intact. Set the hollowed-out watermelon halves aside to use as serving bowls.
Chop the scooped-out watermelon flesh into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them into quarters. Add to the mixing bowl.
Add the blueberries and pineapple chunks to the bowl with the watermelon and strawberries.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the fruit mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to combine, being careful not to crush the fruit.
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad and give it one final gentle toss.
Spoon the salad into the hollowed-out watermelon halves to serve. Garnish with additional mint leaves if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
