Inspired by fresh seasonal ingredients found at the Covington Farmer’s Market
This is a simple Southern favorite that is sure to be a hit during the hot summer months!
1 medium watermelon
1 pint fresh blueberries
1 pint fresh blackberries
ΒΌ cup fresh mint
5 tbs fresh lime juice
2 tbs course sea salt
1 tbs local honey
Chop the mint into ribbons and mix with the lime juice, salt and honey in a jar. Seal and place in the refrigerator.
Cut the watermelon in half lengthwise and scoop out the red meat with a large spoon. You will be using one of the halves as your fruit bowl, continue to scoop that half well into the white rind. You may want to cut a small sliver off the bottom side of your bowl for it to stay flat.
Cube the watermelon meat (or ball with an ice cream scoop) and place into another large bowl. Add in the blueberries, blackberries and the mint-lime marinating in the fridge. Mix well. Put your watermelon fruit salad in your watermelon bowl, and serve garnished with a fresh mint sprig. Best enjoyed fresh!
