Ingredients
  

Salad
  • 5 cup watermelon
  • 2 cup strawberries
  • 1 English cucumber
  • 0.25 cup fresh mint
  • 0.25 cup crumbled feta cheese optional
Honey Lime Dressing
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.25 tsp salt

Method
 

Build the salad
  1. Add watermelon, strawberries, and English cucumber to a large serving bowl.
  2. Sprinkle chopped fresh mint over the fruit and cucumber.
Make the honey lime dressing
  1. Whisk honey, fresh lime juice, olive oil, and salt until the dressing looks evenly combined.
Dress and finish
  1. Pour the honey lime dressing over the salad.
  2. Toss gently to combine so the fruit stays juicy and intact.
  3. Top with crumbled feta cheese if desired.
  4. Refrigerate the salad for 15 minutes before serving, keeping it chilled and slightly firm.
  5. Serve chilled.

Notes

Pro tip: use ripe, cold watermelon and slice strawberries right before mixing so the salad stays crisp instead of watery. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 2 days; stir gently again before eating. Freezing isn’t recommended. For a dairy-free option, omit the feta cheese.
