Begin by selecting a ripe watermelon, looking for uniform color and a dull spot. Slice it in half, then carefully cut the flesh into bite-sized cubes using a sharp knife. Rinse fresh strawberries and mixed berries under cool water before patting them dry. Remove stems from the strawberries and slice them into quarters. Place all prepared fruits in a large mixing bowl for easy tossing later.

In a small bowl, squeeze fresh lime juice generously—about two tablespoons should do the trick. Chop a handful of fresh mint leaves, releasing their aromatic oils, and mix them into the juice. If you want an extra nutritional boost, add a tablespoon of chia seeds. Stir everything well until combined, and set the dressing aside, allowing the flavors to meld while you finish the salad.

Take the bowl of cut fruits and gently add the lime mint dressing over them. Using a large spoon, carefully toss the ingredients together to ensure each piece of fruit gets a coating of the refreshing dressing.

Once everything is well mixed, transfer the salad to a serving bowl. For an appealing touch, sprinkle extra mint leaves on top. Serve the salad immediately for the best taste and vibrant look.
