  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt optional

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Wash all berries and cherries thoroughly and pat completely dry.
  2. Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes, hull and halve the strawberries, and pit and halve the cherries.
  3. In a large serving bowl, gently combine the watermelon, strawberries, cherries, and whole raspberries.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lime juice, honey, and chopped mint until the honey is dissolved.
  5. Pour the lime mint dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to coat everything evenly without crushing the berries.
