Directions

Step 1

Prepare the fruit by cubing the watermelon, cantaloupe, and pineapple into bite-sized pieces, and slicing the strawberries. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the seedless red grapes and blueberries to the bowl with the other fruits.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime zest, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt. If you want a hint of heat, whisk in the chili powder. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the lime and honey dressing over the prepared fruit, gently tossing to coat all the fruit evenly.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint leaves over the salad and toss lightly once more.

Step 6

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Serve chilled in individual bowls or as a side dish for a larger meal. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of mint for presentation.
