Notes

You can substitute goat cheese or blue cheese instead of the feta if you prefer.
Balsamic vinaigrette will work instead of the lemon dressing.
Other vegetables such as cucumbers or celery can be added to the salad if desired.

To make in advance:

- prepare the watermelon, blueberries, onion and mint in a bowl and store in the refrigerator.
- make the salad dressing in a jar.
- Just before serving, add the feta cheese and dressing to the salad and mix.
