Ingredients
- 1 lb strawberries washed
- half seedless watermelon cubed
- 15-20 fresh basil leaves cut into ribbons or finely chopped
Instructions
- Remove the tops from the strawberries. Cut into halves or quarters depending on their size.
- Cut watermelon into bite-size cubs.
- Chiffonade the basil leaves by rolling them tightly and cutting across the short side. This will result in thin ribbons.
- Add the fruit and basil to a large bowl. Gently stir to combine.
- Serve chilled. Lasts a couple of days in the fridge but the basil may wilt a little.
Notes
Use more or less fruit depending on how many people you're serving. When I'm making it for just my family, I only use 1/2 a lb of strawberries, a quarter of a watermelon and about 6 basil leaves.
