Watermelon Fruit Salad

We’ve made it to the middle of the summer, and along with the heat, comes the perfect excuse to indulge in all the vibrant, sweet fruits the season offers.

Today, I’m sharing a simple yet irresistible recipe that’s already become my favorite snack this summer.

Someone around here may have made this salad three times in the past couple of weeks just because she kept waking up craving it. Go ahead and call me a fruit addict – I’m fine with that.

My husband handles most of our grocery shopping and at this point, he knows there is going to be a watermelon on the list every single time he heads to the store. I never can get enough of it in the summer.

    This looks wonderful! I want to make it soon. How far ahead could this be made and kept in fridge –
    and how long will leftovers keep? Thanks so much.5 stars

      I typically do not make this for an event more than a day in advance, Cinda. While the leftovers will keep well for a few days, the watermelon begins to soften after it’s been cut.
