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!

    this looks so good. but can we talk about how unfortunate it is that limes are so GD expensive right now?? because all i want are lime-flavored things, and yet paying out the nose for a tiny little citrus fruit seems so wrong!

    1. Kristin says:

      YES. However, I bought a big bag of 8 or 9 of them at Trader Joe’s for $2.50 – I was ecstatic! Granted they’re smaller than regular limes, though not key lime size, but still. Such a steal right now!

        Last night at my Giant Eagle in NE Ohio, lime’s were $99 EACH and they were the size of golf balls. I was NOT happy. I bought 2 lemons instead for $.79 each (at least they were twice the size though!) Pout.

      2. DENA says:

        Haha…$.99 (guess there is a big difference between $99 and $.99) Gosh, now the limes sound cheap. Baahaaa.

  3. Amanda says:

    Your food photography is absolutely amazing. I need to take notes, and lessons.

  4. Pam says:

    I have used about 1/4 cup of triple sec in my fruit salad with just a bit of sugar and it’s had the same response…going to try this! FYI, the best mojito I’ve ever had was at the Chicago Speakeasy Restaurant! It was in a tall glass was delicious!

  5. Jackie says:

    Wow, this is a total game changer!

    This looks wonderful! One of the chef’s I worked under made something similar to this but added a little black pepper and his was called “Fire and Ice”…yum.

    And I love the fork in your picture!
