Watermelon Refreshingly Sweet Delight (Print Version)
Fresh watermelon mixed with berries, lime, and mint creates a cooling summer delight.
# What You Need:
→ Fresh Fruits
01 - 4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
02 - 1 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered
03 - 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
→ Citrus & Seasonings
04 - 1 lime, zest and juice extracted
05 - 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
06 - 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
07 - 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
# How To Make It:
01 - Combine the cubed watermelon, quartered strawberries, and blueberries in a large mixing bowl.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, honey or agave syrup, and sea salt until fully blended and the sweetener has dissolved.
03 - Drizzle the lime dressing over the fruit mixture. Using a gentle folding motion, toss to evenly coat all pieces without mashing the fruit.

05 - Refrigerate the fruit salad for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled for optimal refreshment.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
- The lime and mint wake up watermelon natural sweetness in ways you wouldn't expect
- It comes together in literally fifteen minutes but looks like something from a fancy restaurant
02 -
- Don't add the mint until right before serving, or it will wilt and lose its bright punch
- The salad sits beautifully for a few hours but beyond that, the fruit starts breaking down and releasing too much liquid
03 -
- Cut everything on a large cutting board so you can slide ingredients directly into your serving bowl and keep cleanup minimal
- If you're making this ahead, wait to add the dressing until 30 minutes before serving so nothing gets soggy
