Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting the seedless watermelon into bite-sized cubes or using a melon baller. Hull the strawberries and slice them in half or quarters. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the watermelon and strawberries.
  2. Thinly slice the fresh mint and basil leaves and sprinkle them over your fruit mixture.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the honey, lime zest, lime juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk until well blended, then drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create a smooth vinaigrette.
  4. Drizzle half of the vinaigrette over the fruit and herb mixture, then gently toss everything. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
