Giant Fruit Salad

It’s almost Spring and I am SO ready for lighter and more refreshing foods! This recipe is great to make ahead, chill, and even sneak in a little veggie love. You can see my giant bowl in the photo below, ready to toss and chill. It has been great having this in my fridge for snacks, easy after dinner treat for the kids, on the side on their eggs for breakfast, and more. This batch is almost gone, and it was HUGE! Give it a try as we transition into Spring – and enjoy! Muah!

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Watermelon
  • 2 Cups Cantaloupe
  • 1 Container Blueberries 
  • 3-4 mini cucumbers 
  • 1 Cup Pomegranate seeds
  • 1 Lemon or lime (ripe)
  • 1/2 Cup fresh orange juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chop the watermelon and cantaloupe into easy one bite chunks. Put into a large bowl, preferably with a lid.
  2. Wash the blueberries and add the entire container to the melon in the bowl.
  3. Wash the mini cucumbers and cut to desired size. You can leave them in rounds or slice the cucumbers in half before chopping them for a smaller bite.
  4. Add the pomegranate seeds to the bowl. I purchased a container from the grocery store that was ready to go, so I was able to toss them right in! 
  5. Wash and slice the lemon (or lime) in half. Take out the seeds and then squeeze the juice over the bowl of fruit. Toss with a spoon to evenly coat the fruit.
  6. If you decide to add the orange juice (adds a little more citrus flavor and sweetness), add it to the bowl and gently mix to evenly coat. 
  7. Enjoy!

Other Things to Add

Try adding some of these other yummy foods to this fruit salad! 

  • Cherry or grape tomatoes
  • Mint
  • Feta cheese
  • Citrus segments (orange or grapefruit)
  • Grapes
  • Jicama 
  • The zest from your citrus (lemon, lime, etc.)
 
Keep scrolling for some kitchen tools that I absolutely love and use all the time in my kitchen! The nesting bowls with lids are especially helpful because you can mix and cook in the bowl, and use the cover to store it in the fridge. No need to transfer to a tupperware! I like that it means less dishes! 😉
