Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by washing 1 cup of strawberries, 1 cucumber, and 2 cups of watermelon. Slice the strawberries into quarters, dice the cucumber into bite-sized pieces, and chop the watermelon into cubes. Finely slice 1/4 of a red onion and chop a handful of fresh mint leaves. Gather these ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. In the large serving bowl, gently combine the strawberries, cucumbers, watermelon, and red onion slices. Toss carefully to blend the colors, avoiding crushing the strawberries.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This dressing will enhance the salad's flavors.
  4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly without overmixing.
  5. Taste your salad and adjust the seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or lime juice if desired.
  6. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
