Red, White & Blue Summer Salad

The easiest, freshest salad for your 4th of July cookout (or any hot day!)

This red, white, and blue salad is my go-to for summer — light, juicy, and just a little bit fancy. It’s made with watermelon, blueberries, mozzarella pearls, and fresh mint, and trust me… it disappears fast at every cookout!

It’s easy to prep ahead, and you only need four ingredients. Perfect for the 4th of July, summer BBQs, or anytime you want something a little sweet, a little savory, and super refreshing.

• 1 small watermelon (seedless is easiest)

• 1 package of blueberries (fresh)

• 1 container of pearl mozzarella cheese

• 2 sprigs of fresh mint (diced)

1. Slice the watermelon in half and use a melon baller to scoop into bite-sized balls. Add to a large serving bowl.
2. Rinse the blueberries and add them in with the watermelon.
3. Break apart the mozzarella pearls by hand and toss them into the bowl.
4. Dice the fresh mint and mix everything together gently.
5. Cover and chill in the fridge until ready to serve!

Serve this in a clear trifle bowl or wide glass serving dish to show off the red, white, and blue layers! You can even sprinkle extra mint on top for color.
