    Ingredients needed

    • Berries - I used three types of berries. Blackberries, blueberries and raspberries.
    • Cherries - Two types. Sweet Black cherries and it's yellow blushy cousin.
    • Melon - I used a sweet variety called a kolkhoznitsa. Use any sweet variety you can find.
    • Mint - Make sure the leaves are nice and tender.
    • Dill blossom(optional) - If you can find it. Wild fennel blossom is also great but this does not grow everywhere so skip if unavailable. This fruit salad recipe will still turn out great.

    Instructions

    1. I decided to make a little dressing for my fresh fruit salad by scooping out the seeds from the melon, mixing it with a touch of sugar(to draw out the juices) and passing it through a colander.
    2. Next, we want to scoop out the flesh of the melon with a spoon into nice natural-looking chunks.
    3. Wash the cherries gently and add into a bowl or in my case my frying pan(space was an issue).
    4. Snip up some mint leaves and add a few dill blossoms. Our magic optional ingredient.
    5. Add the juice and give the salad a gentle mix. If you wish you could also add a little squeeze of lime juice at this point for a lovely little zing.
    6. Now that's our fruit salad looks sexy and tastes awesome we will scoop it back into the melon and finish with some more freshly torn mint and dill blossom.

    Variations

    • Berries - Use what's good and in season. Remember you're making a fruit salad recipe and not sending a rocket to space. Go for black currants, strawberries, wild strawberries, red currants or big mix.
    • Other fruit - If you don't want to use cherries you could use apricots, peaches, pineapple, nectarines or plums for this fruit salad recipe. It will still turn out great. the most important hing is to make sure the fruit is sweet and fresh.
    • Melon - you could use watermelon too, just be mindful that it is a lot more watery and your fruit might start swimming)
    • Herbs - Try herbs like tarragon, thai basil, or lemon verbena.
    • Extras - You could add a touch of the exotic to this fruit salad by using mango, dragonfruit(pretty but tasteless), passionfruit, liches, papaya and kiwi.
