Refreshing seasonal fruit medley with citrus-mint dressing

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 cup watermelon, cubed

02 - 1 cup ripe mango, diced

03 - 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced

04 - 1 cup cantaloupe, cubed

05 - 1/2 cup blueberries

06 - 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced

07 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

08 - 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

09 - 2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup

10 - 5-6 fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

01 - Wash and prepare all fruits as directed. Combine watermelon, mango, strawberries, cantaloupe, blueberries, and kiwi in a large serving bowl.

02 - In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, orange juice, honey or agave syrup, and chopped mint leaves until well combined.

03 - Drizzle the citrus-mint syrup over the prepared fruit mixture. Toss gently to coat all pieces evenly with the dressing.

04 - Refrigerate the fruit salad for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled for maximum freshness and juiciness.

01 -

The honey and citrus wake up the natural fruit flavors instead of masking them
It comes together in fifteen minutes but looks like you put real thought into it

02 -

Add the syrup right before serving or the fruit will start breaking down and get mushy
The mint flavor gets stronger over time so do not be tempted to add extra

03 -

Cut the fruit the day before but wait to add the syrup until serving day
Taste a piece of each fruit before adding any sweetener since some batches need none at all
