Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

In a large serving bowl, gently combine the watermelon, pineapple, and strawberries. (5 minutes)

02

Step

3 mins

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the tequila (if using), agave nectar, lime zest, and lime juice until thoroughly combined and the agave is dissolved. (3 minutes)

03

Step

2 mins

Pour the margarita-inspired dressing over the fruit mixture. Gently toss to ensure all the fruit is evenly coated. (2 minutes)

04

Step

30 mins

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for optimal deliciousness! (30+ minutes)

05

Step

Before serving, give the salad another gentle toss. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of lime zest, if desired.

For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the pineapple before adding it to the salad. The caramelized notes will complement the other fruits beautifully.
Feel free to experiment with other fruits like mango, jicama, or even starfruit. The key is to choose fruits with varying textures and sweetness levels.
If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the tequila and add a splash of orange juice for extra flavor.
This salad is best enjoyed chilled. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but the fruit may become slightly softer over time.
