  • 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: In a small bowl, whisk together the agave syrup, freshly squeezed lime juice, lime zest, and finely chopped fresh mint until well combined to create a bright and flavorful dressing.
  2. Prepare the Fruit: Cube the watermelon into 1-inch pieces, slice the strawberries into rounds, rinse the raspberries, and pit and halve the cherries. Place all the prepared fruit into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Toss the Salad: Drizzle the lime mint dressing over the mixed fruit in the bowl and gently toss everything together to ensure the fruit is evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the salad with some torn fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of flavor and a fresh finish. Serve immediately or chill briefly before serving for a refreshing treat.

Notes

  • Use ripe, fresh fruit for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute agave syrup with honey or maple syrup if preferred.
  • Chill the fruit salad for 15-20 minutes before serving to enhance its refreshing qualities.
  • This salad is best consumed fresh as the fruit may release water if left too long.
  • For an extra touch, add a sprinkle of chili powder or a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
