  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Fruit

  • 4 cups watermelon, cubed into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups strawberries, sliced into rounds
  • 1 1/2 cups raspberries
  • 1 1/2 cups cherries, pitted and halved

Dressing

  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp lime zest
  • 2 tbsp agave syrup
  • 1 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing: Whisk together the agave syrup, freshly squeezed lime juice, lime zest, and finely chopped fresh mint in a small bowl until well combined to create a tangy and sweet dressing.
  2. Prepare the fruit: Cube the watermelon into 1-inch pieces, slice the strawberries into rounds, pit and halve the cherries, and gather the raspberries. Place all the prepared fruit in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Toss the salad: Drizzle the lime mint dressing over the mixed fruit and lightly toss with a spoon or salad tongs to evenly coat the fruit without bruising it.
  4. Garnish and serve: Garnish the salad with some torn fresh mint leaves to enhance the aroma and taste. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe watermelon and berries for the best flavor and texture.
  • This salad is best served chilled; refrigerate for 20 minutes before serving if desired.
  • For added texture, consider sprinkling chopped nuts like pistachios or almonds.
  • Agave syrup can be substituted with honey or maple syrup if preferred.
  • To keep the salad fresh longer, add the dressing just before serving to prevent the fruit from becoming soggy.
