Notes
Quick tip: Not a fan of mint? No worries! This watermelon fruit salad also rocks with fresh basil!
Let me tell you, fresh lime and mint take this watermelon fruit salad to a whole new level. They do wonders for the flavor of the fresh watermelon and berries, making this the most mouthwatering fruit salad you’ll have all summer!
Oh, and if you happen to have a cherry pitter, use it! It makes the prep a breeze. No cherry pitter? No problem! Grab a chopstick, remove the stem, stick it through the middle of the cherry, and watch the pit pop out like magic.
One more thing – for the best experience, devour this watermelon fruit salad right after making it. If it lounges in the fridge, the fruits start releasing moisture, and no one wants a soggy salad.
And hey, if you’re not a fan of agave, you can swap it with another liquid sweetener like honey or maple syrup. Enjoy!
