Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 cups green grapes, halved
- 3 ripe kiwis, peeled and sliced
Dressing & Garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Place the watermelon cubes, halved green grapes, and sliced kiwi in a large mixing bowl ensuring all pieces are roughly bite-sized for easy eating.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, honey, lime zest, and a pinch of salt until the ingredients are fully combined into a smooth dressing.
- Toss the Salad: Drizzle the dressing evenly over the mixed fruit and gently toss the salad to coat all pieces without crushing or bruising the delicate fruit slices.
- Add Fresh Mint: Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint over the salad and toss very lightly once more to distribute the mint leaves throughout.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the salad for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve the salad chilled as a refreshing summer side dish.
Notes
- For an extra burst of brightness, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving.
- If making ahead of time, add the fresh mint just before serving to maintain its vibrant flavor and color.
- Feel free to customize by adding blueberries or strawberries for additional color and flavor variety.
