Ingredients

For the fruit salad:

27 ounces watermelon, diced (about 5 cups)
16 ounces strawberries, hulled & cut into fourths
6 ounces raspberries
6 ounces blackberries
4 ounces blueberries

For the dressing:

2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh basil, cut into ribbons
2 tablespoons fresh mint, cut into ribbons
1 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons lemon zest

Instructions

Prep all of your fruit and ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the dressing with a whisk.
Alternate placing watermelon and the berries with drizzling on some of the dressing, and sprinkling with herbs to create layers.
Eat right away! This salad is best enjoyed fresh. It can save for up to 2 days in the fridge in an airtight container, but it will get soggy as time goes on.

Notes

Cherries would make a wonderful addition to this salad, or even add a few tart gooseberries for a pop of acidity!
This salad doesn't save very well, it will get soggy. You can eat it up to 2 days after you prepare it and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. If you want to prep part of it ahead of time, feel free to make the dressing, then refrigerate it. Don't add it to the salad until right before serving.
