The dressing for this fruit salad is minimal on purpose. Fresh lime juice brings out the flavors with a hint of tartness and adds moisture to the fruit without overpowering it. If you like, you can add a pinch of chili powder to double down on the Mexican theme.
A good option for a shared table
Watermelon, even when cut, stays crisp and fresh longer than most fruits. And the cranberries are whole, so they stay fresh too, making this Red, White, and Cranberry Fruit Salad a great choice for barbecues and cookouts.
