Melon and Blueberry Fruit Salad

Melon and Blueberry Fruit Salad is a sweet salad full of vitamins. It’s a light and delicious summer recipe, ideal for having as a BBQ side dish or as a fruit dessert. The sweet and juicy Galia Melon, sweet and sour taste of the blueberries, fresh cucumber, salty Feta, and mint is a terrific combination. I could eat this every day!

NOTES

1. Melon - I used Galia Melons for this recipe. They were in season right now and got the perfect sweet and juicy flavor I wanted. But you also could use Cantaloupe or Piel de Sapo. Even watermelon will be great.

2. Cucumber - fresh and mild, crisp and cool. Perfect for eating raw or in a salad. I like to peel my cucumbers before adding them, but you can keep the skin. But do take out the seeds on the inside. Otherwise, your salad will get mushy.

3. Storage

Refrigerator - Store this salad for up to two days in the fridge.

4. The nutritional value is per serving, assuming the melon and blueberry fruit salad is eaten by six people.
