Description
A vibrant, flavor-packed Strawberry Watermelon Salad blending the sweetness of watermelon and strawberries with a zesty, honey-kissed dressing.
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
Instructions
1. Start by combining the cubed watermelon and halved strawberries in a large bowl. Gently toss the fruits together, taking care not to bruise the delicate strawberries.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey (or maple syrup for a vegan version) to create a simple, yet flavorful dressing.
3. Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves over the fruit, then pour the dressing over the top. Gently toss the salad to evenly coat the fruits with the dressing. Finally, add a pinch of sea salt and give it one more gentle toss to season the Strawberry Watermelon Salad.
4. Feel free to get creative and add any of the optional ingredients to your Strawberry Watermelon Salad. Crumbled feta cheese, sliced cucumber, a dash of chili flakes, or fresh basil leaves can all make delicious additions to this refreshing dish.
Notes
For the best texture and flavor, it’s recommended to chill the Strawberry Watermelon Salad for about 30 minutes before serving.
Any leftover Strawberry Watermelon Salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
