Patriotic serving dishes are inexpensive and available everywhere (there are expensive ones too, of course, but for casual outdoor gatherings, melamine is just fine). This easy dessert/salad can be made quickly, especially with the availability of goat cheese crumbles (you can substitute feta or other favorite soft cheeses). No dressing necessary - just a squeeze of lime over all just before serving.
12 Servings
6 cups watermelon, cut into 1" cubes
6 cups berries, sliced strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries
1 cup crumbled goat cheese, or substitute feta or a favorite soft white cheese
1 to 2 limes
- Place the watermelon chunks in a strainer over the sink to drain out as much juice as possible while you get the remaining ingredients ready.
- Measure the berries into a large serving bowl.
- Add the goat cheese and toss.
- When the watermelon has drained, add it to the berry mixture; squeeze the lime(s) over all and toss. Serve immediately.
