Notes
Tips For Success
- Brush the watermelon with oil before grilling so that it does not stick to the grates.
- For extra flavor, marinate the feta or blueberries beforehand.
Variations
- Vary herbs - use basil or cilantro instead.
- Make it spicy - If your family loves spicy food, add a bit of crushed red pepper or diced jalapenos to the salad.
- Add greens - Feel free to add greens like spinach and arugula.
- Add veggies - Add sliced sweet bell peppers or red onions.
Budget-Friendly Tips
- Swap out the blueberries for other berries that you have on hand.
- Use another salty cheese that you have on hand.
