Ingredients

For The Mint Lime Dressing:

  • 2 Tablespoons fresh mint sliced thinly or minced
  • 1 Tablespoon honey or agave use agave for vegan
  • Zest of 1 lime about 2 teaspoons
  • Juice of 1 lime about 2 Tablespoons

For The Watermelon Fruit Salad:

  • 5 cups diced watermelon cut into a 3/4-1" dice
  • 2 cups sliced or halved strawberries
  • 1 cup pitted halved cherries
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries or more cherries or blueberries
  • Extra fresh mint for garnish

Instructions

  • First, Mix Up The Dressing. In a jar or small bowl, combine fresh mint, honey or agave, lime zest, and lime juice. Whisk to combine well & set aside. (You can mix this up in advance if you like and store in the fridge!)
  • Assemble Your Salad. In a large bowl, combine watermelon, strawberries, cherries, blueberries, and raspberries.
  • Drizzle With Dressing. Pour the dressing over the fresh fruit and gently stir to combine. You want to coat the fruit evenly with the dressing without crushing the berries.
  • Garnish With Fresh Mint. For a final flourish, add a few fresh mint leaves or a chiffonade (thin ribbons) of fresh mint.

Notes

*I recommend dressing this salad just a few minutes (5-15 minutes) before you plan to serve it for best results. You can make the dressing & prep the fruit, then just wait to add the dressing.
