Ingredients:
Salad
3 cups watermelon (diced or use melon baller)
3 cups sliced strawberries
2 cups cantaloupe (diced or use melon baller)
2 cups honeydew (diced or use melon baller)
Lime Mint Dressing
1/4c freshly squeezed lime juice
1tsp agave or honey
1/8-1/4tsp sea salt
3tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
1 1/2tbsp finely chopped fresh basil
Directions:
1. To make the dressing, whisk together 1/4 cup lime juice, 1tsp agave, 1/8 to 1/4tsp salt. Then add in 3tbsp chopped mint and 1 1/2tbsp chopped basil and stir gently. Set aside while prepping the rest of the ingredients so the mint and basil have a chance to flavor the dressing.
2. For the salad, use a melon baller to carve balls out of watermelon, honeydew, and cantaloupe melon. You should keep scooping until you have 3 cups of watermelon balls, 2 cups of cantaloupe balls, and 2 cups of honeydew balls. Do discard scraps- either eat then on their own, or add them to a smoothie or juice!
3. Slice the strawberries lengthwise into thin round circles. Add the strawberries and balled fruit to a mixing bowl and pour the dressing over the top. Gently stir to coat fruit, and then transfer to a serving bowl or platter. Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat. Enjoy!
