Watermelon Fruit Salad with Honey Lime Dressing

 A refreshing watermelon salad that combines juicy watermelon, sweet berries, and feta or mozzarella balls (bocconcini, also known as mozzarella balls or pearls) along with fresh mint, all tossed in a zesty honey-lime dressing. It's the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and citrusy for summer gatherings, brunch, or light lunches. Add the dressing right before serving. It can be stored in a screw-type jar and refrigerated.
Ingredients: 

  • 5 cups of watermelon
  • 1 cup of strawberries
  • 1 cup of blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese or 1 cup mozzarella balls
  • 3 fresh mint leaves
  • 1/3 cup red onion slices (optional) 
Directions:
  • Gently mix the fruits together, being careful not to crush them. Add cheese and mint.
  • Drizzle honey lime dressing over the fruits to coat them.  
  • Chill 15-20 minutes to let flavors mingle.

 Cook's notes:
I found this refreshing salad to be the perfect side to Asian style Sloppy Joes. The recipe was previously posted.

  1. This sounds so refreshing—watermelon, berries, and that honey-lime dressing? Perfect for these hot summer days! I love discovering creative salads like this. When I'm not in the mood to prep, I sometimes browse restaurant menus for lighter meal ideas—Culver’s actually has a few surprisingly fresh and satisfying options. Their menu with prices is pretty handy too: Culver’s menu with prices . Definitely worth a peek when you're looking to mix things up!
