Strawberry Watermelon Salad with Refreshing Honey
Bright, juicy, and impossibly simple, this salad combines sweet strawberries and crisp watermelon with a glossy honey finish for an easy side or snack.
Ingredients
Fruit
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 4 cups watermelon, cubed
Dressing
- 1/4 cup honey
Toppings
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Rinse the strawberries and pat dry, then slice and add them to a large bowl.
- Cube the watermelon and add it to the bowl with the strawberries.
- Drizzle the honey evenly over the fruit.
- Gently toss the fruit so the honey coats everything without breaking the berries.
- Taste and add a little more honey if you prefer it sweeter.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, serve immediately, and enjoy.
Notes
Use ripe but firm strawberries and watermelon for the best texture. Chill the fruit before assembling to keep the salad crisp and refreshing. Toss gently to avoid bruising strawberries and releasing too much juice. Store leftovers in an airtight container and eat within 24 hours for best texture.
