Begin by selecting a perfectly ripe watermelon, cut it in half, scoop out the flesh, remove any seeds, and chop into bite-sized cubes. Place the watermelon cubes into a large mixing bowl.

Gently rinse about a cup of blackberries, pat them dry, and layer them over the cubed watermelon in the mixing bowl.

Wash a handful of fresh mint leaves, chop them finely, and sprinkle over the watermelon and blackberries.

Roll a ripe lime on the countertop, cut it in half, and squeeze the juice evenly over the layered fruits.

Decide to either toss the salad gently or leave the layers intact for presentation.

Consider adding a few additional whole mint leaves on top and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt to enhance flavor.
