This Balsamic Watermelon & Blackberry Salad is a refreshing and vibrant summer side dish made with juicy watermelon, sweet blackberries, fresh herbs, and a tangy balsamic glaze. Optional crumbled feta or goat cheese adds creamy contrast for a bold and balanced flavor.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups seedless watermelon, cubed or scooped into balls
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint or basil leaves, torn
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cube or ball the watermelon and rinse the blackberries. Pat dry gently.
  2. In a large bowl or on a serving platter, combine the watermelon and blackberries.
  3. Add torn mint or basil leaves and sprinkle with crumbled cheese if using.
  4. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top. Add a splash of olive oil if desired, and season lightly with salt and pepper.

  • Swap or add strawberries or blueberries for variety.
  • Turn into a leafy salad by mixing with arugula or baby spinach.
  • Spice it up with chili flakes or jalapeños for a sweet-heat combo.
