Mojito Fruit Salad: Watermelon & Berry Salad with Mint-Lime Dressing - A fruit salad made of watermelon, cantaloupe, and berries flavored with mint and lime.

We love fruit salads! Usually when I make a fruit salad, I simply use watermelon, cantaloupe, and grapes. It doesn’t even need a dressing, because let’s face it, watermelon, cantaloupe, and grapes are good enough on their own. They don’t require a dressing. But sometimes I like to get a little fancy. On those occasions, I replace the grapes with berries and use a honey, mint, and lime dressing to create a Mojito Fruit Salad.

Watermelon cutting tip to reduce the mess

When you cut your watermelon, place a cookie sheet under the cutting board to capture the drips. It will prevent your counter from becoming a sticky mess. I like to use a melon ball scoop to create watermelon and cantaloupe balls, but when I am in a hurry, I use a knife to quickly create bite-size pieces of melon.

Watermelon and Berry Salad with Lime-Mint Dressing - A delicious recipe for  Mojito Fruit Salad

After adding the melon and berries to the bowl, I drizzle the mint-lime dressing over it and add a few mint leaves for garnish.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
