Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon
- 1 cup lychees
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole lime
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes, removing seeds if necessary, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
If using fresh lychees, peel them, remove the pits, and add the lychee flesh to the bowl. If using canned lychees, drain them well and add to the bowl.
Step 3
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the watermelon and lychees.
Step 4
Zest the lime using a microplane or fine grater, and then juice it. Add both the lime zest and the juice to the salad.
Step 5
Drizzle the honey over the fruit mixture and sprinkle in the sea salt. Gently toss everything together until well combined.
Step 6
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or platter. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
Step 7
Serve cold as a refreshing appetizer or dessert, and garnish with additional mint leaves if desired.
