Watermelon Salad with Mixed Berries and Roasted Beets

My watermelon salad with mixed berries and roasted beets is the perfect salad to enjoy as the warmer days start to set in. It’s a basic fruit salad that’s filled with juicy watermelon, sweet berries, and citrus marinated beets (which I’m convinced is what takes this salad to the next level). Toss it all together with the remaining marinade and you can serve as is, with a little garnish of basil, or you can top with a dollop of Creme Fraiche. I just love this salad because it’s super easy to throw together, but it makes such a huge impact whenever I bring it out to the table on days I’m entertaining.

How to make Watermelon Salad with Mixed Berries and Roasted Beets

• Roast your beets (or purchase them already roasted) then marinate in your citrus marinade. You can do this two hours prior to making your salad or the night before.

• Prepare your fruit by washing and cutting your strawberries into quarters, cutting your watermelon into large chunks, and rinsing off your blackberries and blueberries.
• Assemble your salad by first choosing a large beautiful bowl to serve in. Then you want to first add your watermelon to the bowl and toss with half of your marinated beets and and some of its juice.
