Minty Watermelon Salad

This Minty Watermelon Salad is a light, refreshing combination of watermelon, berries and grapes with a minty, ginger syrup.

Funny where the inspiration for recipes comes from, isn't it? You just never know when you're going to find something interesting.

Take last Saturday for instance. I was doing my usual weekly shopping and making my final stop in the produce department.

My local grocery store always has lots of recipe cards placed throughout the produce and I rarely look at them but for some reason this one really caught my eye. Maybe it's because I'm really craving warm weather and Spring can't make up its mind whether it really wants to stick around or not, but the photo of this beautiful, summery watermelon salad nearly jumped off the card at me. I picked up everything I needed to make it right then and couldn't wait to get home to put it together.

If you can't get good watermelon right now, just tuck this recipe away until summer because it's a keeper! Light, fresh fruits tossed with a minty, ginger syrup. Yum.

How to Make Minty Watermelon Salad

The preparation couldn't be simpler. First, prepare the syrup by simply combining water, sugar, mint and ginger in a small pan. Bring it up to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for five minutes. Set the syrup aside to cool while you prepare the fruit.

Cut your watermelon in bite-size chunks. About 1" works well for me.

Put the watermelon, blueberries, strawberries and grapes in a large bowl. Pour the syrup over and toss. Serve immedately.

And, that's it! Simple, fresh and with a taste that screams - "Come on summer!"

Enjoy!
