For the perfect combination of sweet and salty, you can't go past this watermelon, blueberries and feta salad with cumin maple syrup vinaigrette. Serve this vibrant salad that's bursting with flavour, colour and nutrients, as a side to your favorite protein dish (we enjoyed it with a bone-in, skin-on pork shoulder roast flavoured with fennel) for the ultimate summer feast. It's refreshing, deliciously healthy and a perfect dish for entertaining. The sweetness of watermelon and Gorgonzola would make a great combination too if you prefer a stronger flavour of cheese or ricotta if you want a milder variety.

DressingSalad
  • 1 Lemon, juiced
  • 4 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp Freshly milled cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 Mini watermelon, cut into triangles
  • 100 g Feta, crumbled
  • Mint, chopped
  • 100 g Blueberries
  • 1 tsp Black sesame seeds
  1. Whisk freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil and maple syrup in a small serving bowl. Season with cumin, salt and pepper.
  2. Wash and dry the watermelon. Cut the clean watermelon into triangles, about 2cm thick. Arrange watermelon on a large serving platter with blueberries and chopped mint. Drizzle some prepared dressing over. Crumble feta over the salad and sprinkle the black sesame seed over.
  3. Serve as an easy appetizer, a light snack or as a side to your favourite source of protein, such as meatballs, chicken wings, steak, salmon, or pork roast.

    Watermelon and feta taste amazing together, and wonder how they taste with the dressing. Adding blueberries is a great idea. Hope it was a great first day of summer. hugs-Erika

    How interesting ! How appetizing ! How very attractive to the eye !!! Yet so easy to prepare - methinks the blueberries and black sesame seeds attract first of all . . .

    I love watermelon but I usually eat it on its own. I am sure this salad tastes great. My eyes are on the beautiful and delicious looking pork shoulder.

    Just cut a big watermelon today. My husband is worried about eating it all which is never a problem for me. Love mixing it up with tasty treats like this. The cumin in the dressing sounds interesting,
