Ingredients

• 3 cups seedless watermelon, cut into cubes or star shapes
• ¾ cup fresh raspberries
• ¾ cup fresh blueberries
• ¾ cup fresh blackberries
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, whole or torn
• 2 tbsp fresh mint, thinly sliced (chiffonade)
• Optional: 1 tbsp lime juice or balsamic glaze for drizzling

Instructions

1. Cut watermelon into cubes using a knife, then use a small star-shaped cookie cutter to cut a few stars out of watermelon slices for a decorative touch.
2. In a large shallow bowl or platter, arrange watermelon cubes and stars. Scatter berries evenly over the top. Add crumbled feta.
3. Top with whole basil leaves and sliced mint. Add lime juice or a light drizzle of balsamic glaze if desired.
4. This salad is best served fresh and slightly chilled. Do not overdress — the fresh fruit brings its own moisture and flavor.

Notes

For extra crunch, sprinkle with toasted sunflower seeds or pistachios

Want it dairy-free? Omit the feta or use a plant-based alternative

Serve in individual cups for easy grab-and-go at parties

Try a honey-lime dressing if you want a touch more sweetness

Add arugula or baby spinach for a more traditional leafy salad base
