Fresh watermelon salad full of blueberries, lime and fresh mint. Perfect for that summer get together or simply a backyard snack.
It’s officially watermelon season over here. I don’t mean just any watermelons. I’m talking about the ones that are dark red, crisp and juicy. I feel like the first few rounds of the season are always so disappointing so we were patient this year and it paid off.
Watermelon Salad
One thing I love to make all summer long is this salad. Its perfect for BBQ’s, potlucks or just a snack after playing in the water all day in the sun. We also grow fresh mint so that is never in short supply. This salad is our summer staple.
Want to grow blueberries of your very own? I would love to help get you started with your very own blueberry garden. Just imagine having fresh homegrown blueberries out your backdoor every summer.
