    Strawberry watermelon salad ingredients.

    Instructions

    Here's how to make this recipe in 3 simple steps:

    1. In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt.

    Variations

    Here are a few popular substitutions and additions to this recipe:

    • Strawberries: swap these out for raspberries or blueberries for a similar berry flavor.
    • Lime juice: fresh lemon juice can be used instead.
    • Mint: fresh basil can be substituted. This will change the flavor profile of the salad but pairs well with the fruit and is delicious!
    • Feta: use crumbled queso fresco or goat cheese if preferred; you can also leave the cheese out and the recipe will still be tasty.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I make this salad ahead of time?

    Once mixed, this salad is best served within 2-3 hours of making it. If you need to make it further in advance, you can prep all of your ingredients ahead of time and mix them just before serving. You can also make the dressing ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. 

    Can I substitute feta cheese with another type of cheese?

    Yes, absolutely. Tasty substitutes in this recipe would be queso fresco or goat cheese. These substitutes would offer a similar creamy, tangy profile that pairs with the fruit in the salad. 

    How to Store Leftovers

    To store your leftovers, transfer the salad to an airtight container and keep it in the fridge. While this salad is best enjoyed right after making it, leftovers will stay good for up to 1-2 days. The salad may become slightly watery as it sits; try adding some fresh lime juice and mint to your leftovers to revive the flavors.
