- 3 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- ½ cup cucumber, thinly sliced
Dressing
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Toppings
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
Instructions
- Combine Fruits and Vegetables: In a large bowl, mix the cubed watermelon, halved strawberries, and thinly sliced cucumber gently to keep the fruit pieces intact.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey or agave syrup, fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper until well blended.
- Toss with Dressing: Drizzle the dressing over the combined fruit and vegetable mixture and toss gently to coat everything evenly without breaking the pieces.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh mint evenly over the salad just before serving for maximum freshness and flavor.
- Serve Chilled: Serve the salad cold, ideally immediately or within the same day to prevent excessive liquid from forming.
Notes
- Add arugula or baby spinach for a more savory twist.
- Swap feta for goat cheese or omit for a dairy-free version.
- Best enjoyed the same day it’s made to prevent excess liquid.
