Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound strawberries (hulled & sliced)
- 1/2 seedless watermelon (cubed or scooped with a melon baller)
- 6 mint leaves (thinly sliced)
- 3 basil leaves (thinly sliced)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Start by washing the strawberries and slicing them. Cut the watermelon into cubes or use a melon baller for fun shapes. Combine the sliced strawberries and watermelon in a large bowl. Add the sliced mint and basil, then sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt.
- Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl or jar, combine the honey, lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Whisk or shake until well mixed.
- Finish and serve: Drizzle the honey-lime vinaigrette over the fruit salad. Gently toss to coat all the fruit in the dressing. Serve immediately or chill for a bit to enhance the flavors.
Notes
Chill the salad for 30 minutes before serving for better flavor. Try adding crumbled feta cheese or other fruits for variation.
