This fruit salad recipe has summer written all over it, with cubes of juicy watermelon and sweet strawberries and blueberries. With a nod to the mojito, the fruit is tossed with a sweet mint and lime mixture. Rum is optional!

Equipment

Ingredients

8 c. cubed watermelon about 1" in size
4 c. hulled and quartered strawberries
3 c. blueberries
18 large mint leaves chopped
½ c. fresh lime juice
4 T. powdered sugar
4 T. white rum optional
jicama stars optional

Instructions

Place fruit in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, combine chopped mint, lime juice, and powdered sugar. With the back of a spoon, muddle the mint to release its flavor. Stir in rum, if desired.
Drizzle mixture over fruit. Gently fold to combine. Then place in fridge to chill, and to let the fruit juices mingle. This can be made a few hours prior to serving. Just be sure to fold right before eating.
To include jicama stars, cut jicama into 1/4" slices. Use a sharp star-shaped cutter to create stars. I used the smallest cutter in this set, about 1-3/4" in size. To preserve their whiteness, I wait to toss the stars into the salad until right before serving.
