There’s nothing better than watermelon season in the summer! And when you find the perfect watermelon?! You find a way to eat it morning, noon, and night….am I right?! This watermelon salad is the peeeerfect light and refreshing meal!
If you need a dish for a summer potluck bring along a big bowl of this salad and I guarantee you’ll be the hit of the party! It makes a great side dish for a cookout and since it’s so light you don’t have to worry about loading up your plate!
The watermelon and feta are the perfect sweet and salty duo – so flavorful! The blueberries and almonds add a nice bite and the quinoa packs in some extra nutrition. This is wonderful topped with a serving of grilled chicken if you’d like some extra protein!
I made my salad extra festive for a holiday party by cutting the melon into little stars but you can use a melon baller or simply dice the fruit into medium chunks.
My salad comes out to 6 WW SmartPoints on both the Blue and Green Plans per serving. Enjoy!
