Watermelon and Feta Salad with Blueberry Vinaigrette

    This post was sponsored by Fresh From Florida as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central, however, all opinions expressed are my own.


    High temps are fast approaching, and that means pool parties and family get togethers by the pool. Bring me all the deli sandwiches, chips, and ice cold juicy fruit under the hot sun and I will call it a successful party. Recently, I’ve been recreating some of my favorite party foods for something new and exciting. One of my new favorites is this Watermelon and Feta Salad with Blueberry Dressing created using fruit from Fresh from Florida. 
    I love shopping local and when blueberries popped up in season I couldn’t wait to get my hands on them to make one of my favorite spring time dressings. I may just eat this dressing on everything, and it makes me have an excuse to eat more kale (but does anyone really need an excuse to eat more salad). 
    This recipe is a simple but delicious recipe, throw some watermelon in the bowl and top with your pre-made blueberry dressing. I love adding a dash of mint on the top to add a little more freshness to the salad. This salad has been a hit amongst so many that have tried it. This also makes for a great festive salad for Memorial Day and 4th of July. Follow the Fresh and find these delicious fruits at your local grocer or farmers stand. 
    You can also find some more amazing recipes using in season fruits on the Fresh from Florida social media sites that are listed below.

    Next time you get ready to potty train don’t let Next time you get ready to potty train don’t let ANYONE tell you that one gender is easier than the other. Kids are kids and they each have their own personality. My daughter is very much into doing things herself without help—so potty training had to be done by her not the experts (myself). I used the same potty training technique that I used with the boys, and it did take a bit longer for her to get it—but that’s because she took what I told her to do and did her own thing. 🤣 The next big step? Moving to a big girl bed. I’m not ready. 😭
    Ok smoothie, ice cream—it’s all the same thing Ok smoothie, ice cream—it’s all the same thing. Elevate your @corepower drink by using the @ninjakitchen Creami. To prep my ice cream I pour my drink into the container the night before with some bananas. The next morning it’s ready, I mix it twice on lite ice cream. If it seems like it’s not mixing well just add a splash of milk. I typically like to add Lilly’s Chocolate Chips, but they were missing so I found the marshmallows and said whatever and threw some in. I then mixed it on “mix in” and it seriously tastes like a frosty. It is delicious!
