Watermelon and Feta Cheese Salad with a Honey Lemon Drizzle and Fresh Mint

This is an easy, tasty summer salad and very pleasing to look at. Don’t be afraid, you do not have to be too ambitious, it is really not to hard to do. We did not measure the squares, we just cut them quickly and estimated the size. It really only took about 20 minutes. The dressing can be made the day before and drizzled on right before serving. We added blueberries just to carry off the Red, White and Blue theme. If you don’t feel like being fancy, just combine the ingredients in a bowl and it is equally as good.
