Mojito Fruit Salad is a refreshing, non-alcoholic fruit and berry salad that tastes just like a sweet mojito.
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.
Alcohol Free Mojito Salad
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!

First of all -hello from one IA girl to another ;) I’m in CO now but am originally from Iowa City. I made this dish recently for a baby shower and oh my goodness -so delish!! It was definitely a hit and so easy to make. Incredibly refreshing and the taste of mojito was spot on. Will definitely be making again. Thanks for sharing!!
Awesome!! I’m so glad you loved the recipe. :) And there are SO many ex-IA girls in Colorado. Such a great place!
This is just what I am looking for, fresh and simple. I’m having 10 for dinner tomorrow night. As a side dish, how many will this feed?
Hi Carol! I would make a batch and a half if serving 10.
Thanks for this excellent and unique recipe! I love making fruit salads, and just happen to have a bunch of thriving mint in my outdoor herb garden, just waiting to be used!
This sounds terrific, but it sure would be good to know how many servings it makes!
I used a slightly different combination of fruits, based on what was locally available. This was so good! The combination of sweet lime and mint made a refreshing treat on a hot day. Plus, the mint leaves made the dish look a bit “dressy”.
Totally know what you mean – fresh herbs tend to class up any dish with such little effort. I’m so glad you enjoyed it! :)
Excellent. Received many compliments for this dish
For the Mojito Salad how many does this serve?

Looks so good and refreshing!
How many people serves this salad?

This recipe will generously serve 6.
I`m totally loving this fruit salad! Ideal for summer.
How many people do you think this would serve?
I would six people would each get a good-sized scoop!
This looks delicious! I cannot wait to try this recipe with fresh mint from my garden!
I made this salad for a bike+potluck dinner, everyone LOVED it!!! Thank you!!! Used coconut sugar in place of the powdered sugar and added a bit of lime zest to bring up the lime flavor a bit. Definitely rave reviews!
I was thinking of making this for a large family reunion. Does one batch make a large bowl? I was thinking I’d have to double it, at the least. But more importantly, if the fruit is ready ahead and kept cold, I would think I’d put the lime dressing on just a bit before serving. Does the fruit stay nice for a couple of hours? (Travel time)
Hi Debbie! One batch makes enough for 8-10 people if they’re all taking a big scoop. You can make it the night ahead of time then dress just before serving!
