Melon-Berry Salad

 Melon-Berry Salad


Melon-Berry Salad

This refreshing melon-berry salad is a perfect blend of sweet and juicy fruits. With the vibrant colors of watermelon, cantaloupe, and a variety of berries, it’s a light and delicious salad for any occasion—especially during warm weather!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cubed watermelon
  • 2 cups cubed cantaloupe (or honeydew melon)
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Zest of 1 lime (optional, for added citrus flavor)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Fruit:

Start by washing and preparing all of the fruit. Cut the watermelon and cantaloupe into cubes, hull and slice the strawberries, and rinse the blueberries and raspberries.

2. Assemble the Salad:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.

3. Add Lime and Honey:

Drizzle the lime juice over the fruit and add the honey or maple syrup (if desired). Toss gently to combine. If you’re using lime zest, sprinkle it over the top for added citrus fragrance.

4. Garnish with Mint (Optional):

If you like a fresh, herbaceous note, sprinkle the chopped mint leaves over the salad. Toss again to distribute evenly.

5. Serve:

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to chill. The salad is best when fresh, but it can be stored in the fridge for a day or two.

Tips and Variations

  • Add-Ins: You can add other fruits like kiwi, pineapple, or grapes to the mix for more variety.
  • Vegan Option: This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free.
  • Cheese: For a savory twist, try adding crumbled feta or goat cheese. The salty cheese complements the sweetness of the fruit.
  • Make it a Dessert: Drizzle with a little balsamic glaze for a more sophisticated dessert-like salad.

Storage:

  • Refrigerate: Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. However, the salad is best when fresh due to the moisture content of the melons.

This melon-berry salad is a sweet, juicy, and colorful treat that’s easy to prepare and perfect for hot summer days! 🍉🍓🍈
