Watermelon Fruit Salad
Watermelon Fruit Salad combines watermelon cubes with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, cherries, and fresh mint, all brightened by lemon zest and juice. The fruit is lightly coated with a honey-lemon dressing and chilled before serving, resulting in a refreshing mix of sweet and citrus flavors with juicy, crisp textures. This salad is a natural choice for warm days or as a light, fruity side dish.
