Strawberries, blueberries and watermelon, oh my! Nothing says summer like a refreshing fruit salad. Add in a bit of feta for a tart kick, then smooth it all out with a sweet, complimentary poppyseed dressing. Seriously, this salad is one of my favorites.
I was inspired to make it again after I found the new Quaker® Real Medleys® Yogurt Cups on demo at Walmart the other day. The lady demoing the product was extremely knowledgeable. She told us about the 10g of protein with milk, and made sure we knew to only stir in cold milk because it won’t activate with warm milk. Everyone was excited to try it.
I didn’t know what to expect the first time I tried it because I’ve seen nothing like this before, but wow, it’s delicious! Crunchy. Cool. Yum. We stocked up on several because we enjoyed it so much. I knew as soon as I picked it up that we needed to pair it with my watermelon, berry, and feta salad with poppyseed dressing. It’s the perfect combination to make up a well rounded breakfast for me.
It’s easy to make, here’s how I did it. Just grab a couple of cups of watermelon, about a cup or so of chopped strawberries, about a cup of blueberries, then a half cup to a cup of crumbled feta and mix it up in a bowl. Set the fruit and berries aside and create the poppyseed dressing. You’ll need red wine vinegar, sugar, ground mustard, vegetable oil, and salt. The easy to follow instructions have the amounts, below.
Combine vinegar, sugar, salt and mustard using a blender. I used an immersion blender, but if you don’t have one your counter top blender will work just fine. Once combined slowly start to drizzle in the oil. When everything is mixed to create an emulsion, stir in the poppy seeds.
That’s all there is to it! You can serve this dressing directly over your fruit salad, or, if you’re like me, you’ll serve it on the side so each person can add as much or as little as they want to their salad. I also like to take individual pieces of fruit and dip them in. It tastes fantastic!
To complete the breakfast you can quickly create your favorite Quaker Real Medleys Yogurt Cup.
These are so easy to make, just like the lady at the Walmart demo stand told me. She wasn’t kidding!
Just pour cold milk into the cup up to the line…
then stir and eat for a tasty yogurt treat. It’s as simple as that, plus it’s satisfying and delicious!
That right there is a delicious, easy to create breakfast!

You had me at watermelon and feta. Such a great combination. I could eat this every day. #client
Isn’t it a great combination! The poppyseed dressing goes well with the feta too. All of it just comes together perfectly! I wish it could be watermelon season year round, lol.
This looks SO yummy! I’ve actually never mixed feta with fruit before but it’s definitely something I’ll have to try!
Yes! It’s one of my favorite combinations! I especially love it with strawberries, but it has it’s place with watermelon as well. What’s your usual go to combination with feta?
Hubs is a big oatmeal consumer at our house, me=not so much but the poppy seed dressing is definetely my taste!
That salad looks amazing. I Yummed it!
I get these yogurts and LOVE them!
Isn’t that raspberry pecan yogurt medley delicious?!
Can’t wait to try your salad recipe!
Yes, I love it! Though the Strawberry Almond is my personal favorite.
Yum!! A perfect summer salad!! 🙂
I love watermelon and feta together- I’ll have to try your poppyseed dressing. It sounds so good!
I will be making this for my husband. I have never met anyone who loves watermelon more than he does. He eats it with sugar and salt which is totally weird to me, but I would love to have him try this.
I need this salad in my life right now. I have always loved the combo of watermelon and feta
Great looking salad. I love the colors and the flavor combinations!
I love feta and use it in tons of recipes, but I’ve never tried it with fruit. This is an interesting combo!
Great photographs and this looks delicious!
What a truly refreshing recipe! I love watermelon and mixing it in with the cheese and blueberries brings an entirely new taste profile…
YUMMM.. this is a recipe for me! Love the fruity salads and the breakfast deadly delicious, thanks for sharing, this is gonna go on my breakfast menu
My daughter just loves the Real Medleys. She likes them for breakfast on the go.
I don’t know if I ever would’ve thought to combine these elements for a salad. Looks great!
I love feta in a berry/watermelon salad! Other fun additions would be fresh basil or fresh mint, though I probably wouldn’t use the poppyseed dressing then, LOL. What’s your favorite way to enjoy watermelon and berries?
I love them in desserts mostly! Haha. I do also like them in salads. Just hadn’t thought about watermelon and feta together before!
This looks perfect to take to a cookout! Might have to bring it along for Labor Day this year!
Absolutely! A potluck is a great idea, I might have to make this again for our family gathering this weekend, thanks for the idea. I was wondering what I was going to bring 😉
