    Easy Watermelon Mint Salad

    Easy Watermelon Mint SaladI can’t even believe how insanely delicious this “recipe” is. I put the word recipe in quotations because it’s hardly  even that. Literally it’s as easy as throwing four ingredients together in a bowl and calling it a salad.

    Easy Watermelon Mint SaladHowever, the combination of these four ingredients makes for the most refreshing, beautiful and delicious summer salad. EVER.

    I take absolutely zero credit for this thing of beauty. I saw my friend Carly of Carly Jean Los Angeles make it on her Instagram stories one day and I immediately decided I had to try it. Since then I’ve made it at least 2-3 times a week and we simply cannot get enough!

    Easy Watermelon Mint SaladIf you want the simplest dish that will wow your guests, this is it. Watermelon, raspberries, mint, lime. BOOM.

    Summer in a bowl.

      How far in advance can this be made? I’m having a barbecue on Saturday evening. Could I prepare it the night before? Morning of?

      So excited to try this!
