Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan version)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Optional Add-Ins

  • Crumbled feta cheese for a savory twist
  • Sliced cucumber for extra crunch
  • A dash of chili flakes for a spicy note
  • Basil leaves as a mint substitute

Instructions

  1. Combine Fruits: In a large mixing bowl, place the cubed watermelon and halved strawberries together, setting the base for the salad.
  2. Add Dressings: Drizzle the lime juice and honey (or maple syrup) over the fruit, then sprinkle a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.
  3. Add Mint and Toss: Chop the fresh mint leaves and add them to the bowl, then gently toss all ingredients together to evenly distribute the flavors without bruising the fruit.
  4. Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, incorporate any optional add-ins such as crumbled feta, sliced cucumber, or a dash of chili flakes to give the salad extra texture and flavor complexity.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Cover the bowl and let the salad chill in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and serve fresh.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup.
  • Using fresh mint provides a refreshing taste, but basil leaves can be used as an alternative.
  • Crumbled feta adds a savory contrast that complements the sweetness of the fruits.
  • Chilling the salad enhances the flavor and makes it more refreshing.
  • This salad is best served the same day to preserve the texture and freshness of the fruits.
