Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (cubed) watermelon
- 2 cups (cubed) cantaloupe
- 2 cups (cubed) pineapple
- 1.5 cups (sliced) fresh strawberries
- 1.5 cups seedless red grapes
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Prepare the fruit by cubing the watermelon, cantaloupe, and pineapple into bite-sized pieces, and slicing the strawberries. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the seedless red grapes and blueberries to the bowl with the other fruits.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime zest, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt. If you want a hint of heat, whisk in the chili powder. Mix until well combined.
Pour the lime and honey dressing over the prepared fruit, gently tossing to coat all the fruit evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint leaves over the salad and toss lightly once more.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled in individual bowls or as a side dish for a larger meal. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of mint for presentation.
