Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 4

Add the blueberries and pineapple chunks to the bowl with the watermelon and strawberries.

Step 5

Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the fruit mixture.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to combine, being careful not to crush the fruit.

Step 8

Crumble the feta cheese over the salad and give it one final gentle toss.

Step 9

Spoon the salad into the hollowed-out watermelon halves to serve. Garnish with additional mint leaves if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
