Mocktail Fruit Salad - The Goldilocks Kitchen

This simple mix of freshly cut watermelon, strawberries, mango and pineapple chunks is perfectly paired with a delicious agave-lime syrup, lime zest and fresh mint. It is beautiful and amazingly delicious~ fresh and bright just like a warm spring or summer day.  I created this recipe to taste like a virgin fruity drink that you would enjoy by the beach or poolside.  (If you want to toss a tablespoon or two of tequila in it~ I’ll leave that up to you :0)

If you could even just smell the delicious fresh fruit in this salad you’d know it’s a dynamite recipe that is a keeper for sure. If you can, prepare it about an hour before serving so it’s chilled but still fresh.  If it sits more than a day in the fridge it will get soggy and bland. Enjoy!
