Watermelon is undeniably a summer staple.
I love to serve a bowl of diced watermelon with our weekend breakfasts that are less hurried and roll more into brunch.
Or with juicy beef ribs and a big green salad.
Or try something new like adding cheese and basil.
I have seen different variations on this, some with bacon, some without.
Some have grapes or dried pieces of fruit too.
I thought I would keep it as simple as possible and incorporate a couple sweet things, something a little tangy like the Gorgonzola.
And I seem to be throwing fresh basil in just about everything these days with a big basil plant on my kitchen counter.
It. Just. Tastes. Good. On. Everything.
Don’t you think?
I would love to switch this up with some red onions and a bit of rosemary or cilantro too.
But for today, my oldest and her family (which includes two wonderful grands) are coming for dinner and Mandy has been eating vegetarian for some time now.
I am serving grilled petite sirloins, stuffed mushrooms, and this salad (along with a meatless grilled option for the vegetarians in the crowd.)
Here is what I used to make this easy, fresh and delicious watermelon salad:
Watermelon Gorgonzola Salad
In large mixing bowl fold together:
- 8 cups of cubed seedless watermelon
- 2 cups of blueberries
- 1 cup of pre-made pear gorgonzola dressing (raspberry dressing or any fruit dressing works well too)
- 2 cups of crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 1/2 cup of thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
Gently fold the ingredients together and serve chilled.
Enjoy!
Thank you as always friends for reading and following along,

Such a refreshing summer recipe! 🍉 The mix of watermelon, blueberries, Gorgonzola, and fresh basil sounds unique and perfect for a family meal.

This sounds so fresh and delicious! I love the combination of watermelon, blueberries, and Gorgonzola. Smash Karts
Summer salads like this one are exactly what I keep coming back for when the weather gets hot. The pairing of watermelon and gorgonzola sounds bold at first, but the salty creaminess of the cheese really does balance the juicy sweetness of the fruit. I tried a similar version last weekend with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and some toasted walnuts on top, and it disappeared before the main course even hit the table. One tip I would add for anyone making this for a party: cube the watermelon ahead of time and let it chill in the fridge so the salad stays crisp when you dress it. Crumbled mint on top would also echo the freshness nicely. My kids were skeptical about fruit with cheese until they tasted it, and now they ask for it every week. If you enjoy quick no-cook dishes like this, you will probably like the little logic challenges we play at the dinner table too, especially the Arrows Puzzle we keep on the tablet. Thanks for sharing another recipe that makes weeknight cooking feel fun.
