Before summer is over, you need to try this watermelon basil salad recipe. Add a few ingredients to a bowl and in just minutes you will have a unique salad to serve up the next time you grill. We love watermelon around here and I try to come up with recipes to use the fruit as well. I mean they are huge right? You have to use it up before it spoils! Try this salad plus I have a few more recipes at the bottom of this post you don’t want to miss. Enjoy watermelon anytime of the day with our ideas.
Watermelon Basil Salad Recipe
- 3 cups cubed watermelon
- 3/4 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon chopped basil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Add watermelon, blueberries, and basil to a bowl. Stir to combine. Then drizzle with the balsamic vinegar. Toss to coat. Serve immediately or pop in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat. This salad really is that easy to pull together! You might even have all of the ingredients you need on hand to make it.
Dive into a bowl of this watermelon basil salad as a side dish or as a part of your lunch. Either way, you are sure to love the sweet fruit next to the acidity of the vinegar. The basil adds a freshness that you don’t want to skip. Pick some herbs and get started on your own bowl of this great summer staple.

I love watermelon and blueberries. I’m not sure why I haven’t had them together before with balsamic vinegar and basil. I’m going to do this when I get some more watermelon. Thanks for sharing on the Inspire Me Monday Linky Party!
