This Summer Fruit Salad with Cinnamon-Honey Syrup, with fresh watermelon and berries, is the perfect treat for the hot summer days.
I love all the fruit and vegetables that are so readily available during the summer months.On every shopping trip, the kids pick out whatever seasonal fruits thatthey want. Sometimes it becomes a snack, other times it’s part of our meals, like thisSummer Fruit Salad with Cinnamon-Honey Syrup recipe.
Our family can eat A LOT of watermelon each summer. I would say that we buy at least 2-3 watermelons per month. Many times we enjoy it as-is,on the rindandcut in wedges. But having it as the star of a fruit salad is always welcome in our house too.
In this Summer Fruit Salad, the watermelon is cut off the rind and then cut into bite-size pieces.The juicy watermelon is combined with beautiful blueberries and raspberries. You could also add in some blackberries, if you like.
A sweet cinnamon-honey syrup is drizzledover the fruit. Lemon zest is also added and everything is gently tossed together to make a delicious saladthat is perfect for hot summer days. If you wish, you can garnish with mint leavesbefore serving. That’s all there is to it! A fresh and fruity side dish the is perfect for summer.
