🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. First, wash and thoroughly dry your strawberries and watermelon. This is super important to avoid a watery salad. Pat them dry! I know, extra step, but worth it.
  2. Next, cut the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Aim for roughly bite-sized pieces. If they are particularly large, go for quarters.
  3. Now, chop the watermelon. I prefer 1-inch cubes, but you can go smaller if you like. Don't overthink this part; it's all about what looks and tastes good to you!
  4. Finely chop the mint leaves. Don't go overboard; a little goes a long way. Roughly 1/4 cup should suffice for a lovely fresh flavor.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, honey (or sugar), and a pinch of salt. Whisk this together until the honey is fully dissolved, creating a simple yet delicious dressing. Taste it as you go – adjust the sweetness and tartness to your liking.
  6. Gently combine the strawberries, watermelon, and mint in a large bowl. Don't mash the fruit; you want to keep everything nice and pretty.
  7. Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture and toss gently to coat everything evenly. Again, be gentle; no one likes bruised fruit!
  8. Taste and adjust the seasoning. You might need a little more lime, honey, or salt, depending on your taste preferences. Trust your gut, or better yet, your taste buds!
  9. Finally, transfer the salad to a serving platter. Garnish with extra mint sprigs for a beautiful and appetizing presentation. You're going to want to show off this beautiful salad!
  10. Serve immediately or chill for later. It's incredibly tasty either way! Enjoy your amazing summery creation!

📝 Notes

  • For a sweeter salad, use more honey. For a tarter salad, use more lime juice. Experiment and find your perfect balance!
  • If your watermelon is particularly juicy, you may want to let it sit for a few minutes to drain excess moisture before adding the dressing. Nobody likes a watery salad!
  • Consider adding a sprinkle of chili flakes for a spicy kick. It's surprisingly good!
