Fruit

- 1 cup blackberries
Herbs and Dressing
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 lime, zested
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Combine fruits and mint: In a large bowl, gently mix the cubed watermelon, quartered strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Sprinkle the thinly sliced fresh mint evenly over the top of the fruit mixture.
- Prepare the dressing: In a large measuring cup, whisk together the honey, freshly squeezed lime juice, lime zest, and olive oil until well combined and smooth.
- Dress the salad: Drizzle the honey lime dressing over the bowl of mixed fruit and mint. Gently toss the salad, being careful not to crush or burst the berries to maintain their texture and appearance.

Notes
- Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor and texture.
- Gently toss the salad to avoid crushing the delicate berries.
- This salad is best served fresh; avoid refrigerating for long periods as the fruit may release excess moisture.
- For a slight twist, add a handful of chopped nuts like pistachios or almonds for crunch.
- Make sure to zest the lime before juicing for easy handling.
