    Satisfy your sweet tooth and brighten up any meal with a cheerful pink and green salad: juicy chunks of watermelon, plenty of fresh berries, and a refreshing hint of mint and lime juice.

    It’s a delicious way to take advantage of berry-picking season: just a little fancier than eating them straight out of the box, but not a lot of extra work to get there.

    Watermelon Raspberry and Mint Salad

    You can sweeten the salad with some raw honey if you like, or just leave it out and let the fruit speak for itself.

    A handful of roasted hazelnuts adds a nice crunch, but if you don’t want to bother with roasting them, you could just leave them out – or replace them with walnuts or any other type of nuts.

    The longer you leave this one in the fridge to chill, the better it’ll taste, so it's great for making in advance when you know you want to cook later.

    If you make it at lunchtime, it would be perfect for dessert on a hot evening. Or try it as a healthy mid-afternoon treat when the snacking impulse strikes: with real food this good, who needs candy?
