This insanely good summer salad is worth the time it takes, including the time to make and then cool the balsamic glaze. You could substitute mint, but I think the basil is best, to match the feta. Choose a good quality feta!
Watermelon Blueberry Salad
Ingredients
- 6 cups watermelon seeded and cubed
- 1 pint blueberries washed and cleaned
- 3 oz feta crumbled from block
- 12 leaves basil slivered
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Make the balsamic glaze first, so it has maximum time to cool. In a small sauce pan, mix the ½ cup balsamic vinegar and 1 tbsp honey well, and heat over medium until it is bubbling, about 2 minutes. Watch it carefully until it reduces by half and is thickened. Cool by pouring into a heat-safe dish and placing in the fridge.
- Prepare the other ingredients. Slice the 6 cups watermelon and clean and prep the 1 pint blueberries. Crumble the 3 oz feta and clean and slice the 12 leaves basil.
- If you are serving immediately, you can add it all together. If not, keep ingredients separate until ready to serve.
