Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes, ensuring you remove any seeds if present. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Rinse the fresh raspberries under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Add them to the bowl with the watermelon.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the fruit in the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey (if using), and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.
Drizzle the lime dressing over the watermelon and raspberries. Using a large spoon, gently toss the fruits to coat them evenly in the dressing.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or bowls. Garnish with a few whole mint leaves if desired for presentation.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes before enjoying for maximum freshness.
