Ingredients
4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
1/2 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional, for a savory twist)
Instructions
Cube watermelon and halve strawberries, setting aside.
Chop mint leaves and zest lime by gently rolling it on a counter.
In a bowl, whisk lime juice with honey (or maple syrup) to make the dressing.
Add cubed watermelon, strawberries, and mint to the dressing. Toss gently to coat.
Optional: Sprinkle crumbled feta over the salad just before serving for a savory contrast.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Swap mint for basil for an herbaceous twist.
Add crushed pistachios or toasted almonds for crunch.
For vegan version, omit feta and use maple syrup instead of honey.
