Ingredients
- 1 small seedless watermelon
- 3-4 large apples
- 8 oz strawberries (washed and patted dry)
- 12 oz raspberries (rinsed)
- 11 oz blueberries (washed and patted dry)
- 3 TBS honey
- 2 limes (juiced)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
Instructions
- Cut the watermelon into 1/2 inch thick slices. Use a 2inch star cutter to cut out as many watermelon stars as you can, to get about 3-4 cups of watermelon stars. (Alternatively you can cut them into cubes) Add the watermelon pieces to a large serving bowl.
- Slice the apples into 1/4inch slices and use a 1inch star cutter to cut out as many apple stars as you can. Toss them in juice from 1/2 of one of the limes to keep them from browning. Add them to the serving bowl.
- Cut the tops off the strawberries and cut them in half. Cut them into slices if the strawberries are extra large, add the strawberries to the large serving bowl.
- Add the raspberries and blueberries to the bowl and carefully toss the fruit together.
- Add the honey, remaining lime juice, and chopped mint to a small bowl and stir them together.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and carefully mix it together to coat the fruit in the dressing.
- Cover the fruit and place it in the fridge for about 15 minutes, then serve.
