I’ve got the only fruit salad recipe you’ll need all summer – Mojito Fruit Salad!

It is absolutely no secret that I obsessed with mojitos. The first time I ever drank one was during a spring break trip to Mexico a million years ago, at some all inclusive resort where the rum and mint runs free. The rest, as they say, is history.

Mojitos are great year round but the combination of mint and lime is especially refreshing in the heat and especially when it’s mixed with the ripest of summer fruit and berries, like in this salad.

Fresh chopped watermelon, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and mint are tossed with a quick and easy, lightly-sweetened lime glaze before serving. So simple. So unbelievably luscious.

Now, this salad is mojito-inspired, but there’s no rum. Take it from me, though, leftovers are fabulous when added to a glass of sparkling wine. The juicy fruit and berries create a wonderful, sweet syrup and it’s just heavenly when added to a fizzy glass.

Like I said, this is the easiest fruit salad to make in the world. Simply add 4 cups fresh cut watermelon to a big serving bowl along with 6oz blueberries.

Next add 6oz raspberries, and 1lb chopped strawberries.

Then add the mojito-iest part of the fruit salad – fresh chopped mint! I tell you what, nothing conjures up thoughts of summer quite like the smell of fresh mint.

Finally mix up a fresh lime glaze including 1/4 cup fresh lime juice and 3 Tablespoons powdered sugar in a small bowl then drizzle over the fruit and berries and gently toss with a spatula to combine.

Let the fruit salad sit in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the natural juices in the fruit and berries to seep out, creating a luscious sweet syrup. Scoop into bowls then serve!

    What’s the difference between “1/4 cup packed mint, chopped” and “1/4 cup chopped mint”?

  2. Carolyn says:

    I made this for a potluck yesterday – everybody loved it – then I used an immersion blender on the leftovers and made a great smoothie.

    I foolishly decided to “cater” my own wedding a few years ago. This fruit salad was on the menu; it was so easy but so delicious and definitely vamped up for an event like an afternoon wedding. I’m finally reviewing it, four years later because I made it back to your website somehow. I’m an Iowa girl living in China right now, so I’m just soaking in all your Midwest stories and recipes right now. ? Thank you! All your recipes are AWESOME!
