Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (diced) watermelon
- 2 (large, diced) mango
- 1 (medium, diced) cucumber
- 0.25 (small, finely chopped) red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) fresh mint leaves
- 1 (juiced) lime
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry all produce.
Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes (about 4 cups) and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and dice the mangoes into similar-sized cubes and add them to the bowl with the watermelon.
Dice the cucumber into small pieces and add it to the bowl. If the cucumber skin is thick or waxy, consider peeling it beforehand.
Finely chop 1/4 of a small red onion and add it to the salad. Adjust onion quantity to taste if desired.
Chop fresh mint leaves into small pieces and mix them into the salad for a burst of fresh flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon of honey or agave syrup, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to combine, ensuring the fruits and vegetables are evenly coated.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice, salt, or honey to suit your preference.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual bowls. Optionally, garnish with a few extra mint leaves for presentation.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor. This salad can also be refrigerated for up to 1 hour for a chilled option.
