š Instructions
- First, we're going to prep the watermelon. Cut the watermelon in half, then slice away the rind. Next, cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes. Try to keep them somewhat uniform. (About 1 inch cubes are ideal)
- Now, grab your blueberries. If they're frozen, make sure to let them thaw completely. If they're fresh, gently rinse them under cool water and set them aside.
- Time for the lemon. Zest the lemon first - we want all that citrusy goodness! Set the zest aside. Now, juice the lemon. You'll want about 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice for this recipe. (If your lemons aren't very juicy, you might need another half one)
- Get your large bowl. Gently toss the watermelon cubes and blueberries together. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice. Give it all a good, gentle stir to combine the flavors.
- Taste test time! Does it need a little more lemon? A bit more sweetness? Now's the chance to adjust the flavors to make it *perfectly* you. Taste and adjust as needed. Maybe add a pinch of salt, just to bring everything together.
- Finally, we're going to serve this beauty up. Gently transfer it to a serving bowl. If you want, add a few extra blueberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest for garnish. And there you have it! A refreshing and delicious Watermelon Salad with Blueberry and Lemon!
š Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt.
- This salad is best served immediately, but leftovers will keep for 1-2 days in the refrigerator.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon juice to your liking. Some people prefer it more tart than others!
