WATERMELON BLUEBERRY FETA SALAD

Straight up I’m going to tell you that this salad will have children screaming in horror and running in the other direction. Because it’s fruit with stinky cheese and green stuff in it. Quite frankly some adults might feel the same way.  
But if you’ve ever eaten watermelon with feta you know that it is one of those magical combos. Add some blueberries for a red, blue, and white theme. Fourth of July, here we come!
Mint brings a fresh and vibrant flavor. It’s not overpowering but you are welcome to use less if you’re scared. Another one of my favorite herbs that goes well with watermelon is basil so you can use that instead.

-Justin Thyme-Two cents worth of opinion. Note: While traditional Greek- Turkish Mediterranean Feta Cheese usually consists of 70% sheep's mild and 30% goats milk, not all Feta cheese uses goats milk. In fact most of the Feta cheese I can find in stores uses either sheep and dairy cows milk. Or is entirely dairy Jersey Holstein cows milk. Pasteurized of course and so marked by the USFDA. Though Feta using goats milk can be found usually in upper end specialty shops selling the traditional variety imported from Europe.
