Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups watermelon seedless or with seeds cut into cubes
  • 1 1/2 cup fresh blueberries plus more to taste
  • 3/4 cup Feta cheese, crumbled (or more to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, thinly sliced (or more to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint, thinly sliced (or more to taste)

For the Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 whole lemon)
  • 2-3 tablespoons honey you can also use maple syrup or agave syrup
  • sea salt to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Make the honey lemon drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, and sea salt, then set it aside.
  • Chop the watermelon. Chop the watermelon into small, bite-sized pieces. One easy method is to cut the watermelon in half. Place the halves cut side down on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, make vertical and horizontal cuts about 1 inch apart to create a grid pattern. This will result in long rectangular sticks, which you can then cut into cubes. 
  • Toss the salad. Add the watermelon, blueberries, basil, and mint leaves to a large bowl. Crumble the feta cheese into the bowl and toss everything together. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until fully coated. Use salad tongs (or a large spoon) to carefully toss the salad until thoroughly combined. Adjust the seasoning to taste, and top with additional feta cheese, fresh basil, and mint if desired. 
    For the best flavor, let it sit in the fridge for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

The amounts listed for the salad ingredients are suggested amounts. Feel free to adjust them according to your taste and preferences.
Note: To slice the basil and mint, stack the leaves and roll them together tightly then slice into thin ribbons, crosswise.
