Watermelon Fruit Salad with Lime Mint Dressing

Get Ready to Refresh: Watermelon Fruit Salad with Lime Mint Dressing!

Okay, so who else is just over the same ol’ boring fruit salads? 🙋‍♀️ I mean, I love fruit… but sometimes it just needs a lil’ zing, ya know? This watermelon fruit salad is honestly a game changer. Fresh, sweet, tangy—it’s like a summer party in your mouth!

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, imagine we’re strolling through the grocery store, and I’m like “Get ready for a fruity explosion!” Here’s what you need:

– 4 cups watermelon (cube that juicy goodness!)
– 1 1/2 cups strawberries (they gotta be red and ripe)
– 1 1/2 cups raspberries (just toss ’em in, they’re cute)
– 1 1/2 cups cherries (make sure to pit ‘em, or it’s gonna be a cherry pit party 👀)
– 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice (the fresher, the better!)
– 1 1/2 tsp lime zest (more zing!)
– 2 tbsp agave syrup (trust me, it works wonders)
– 1 tbsp of fresh mint, finely chopped (because mint is life)

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, story time! So, a couple of summers ago, I was at this BBQ, right? It was blazing hot, and I just wanted something refreshing. I literally threw this watermelon salad together because I had a bunch of leftover fruits. Everyone went crazy! Like, people were asking for the recipe as if I was some culinary genius. 😂 I felt like a total rockstar! Now, I make it ALL the time. It’s my go-to for every summer hangout—just so easy and always a hit!

(Another beautiful shot because we can’t get enough!)

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, listen up because here’s the magic: let your dressing chill for a bit before drizzling it. Like, while you’re chopping the fruits, just let that lime-mint goodness hang out in the fridge. It gets all mingled and flavors pop like crazy!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

– Watch the watermelon: Don’t get the kind that’s too mushy, you want it nice and firm.
– Chop mint carefully: I once tossed in whole leaves and it was just a mint explosion—too much mint, too little fruit.
– Taste as you go: If it’s too sweet, just add a bit more lime juice. If it’s too tart, a drizzle more of agave. Balance, my friend!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, here’s the deal: this salad doesn’t last long—like, if you make it for a party, expect it to vanish. But if you have leftovers (which, honestly, good luck with that), just pop it in an airtight container in the fridge. Should last about 2 days? But I doubt it’ll even make it to the next meal. 😂
