Ingredients

3 cups seedless watermelon (chopped)
1 cup Jicama (chopped)
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 large lime ((You'll use the zest & 3 Tbsp. of the juice))
¹⁄₂ cup coconut milk
1 Tbsp. maple syrup
coarse sea salt or kosher salt ((a couple of dashes))
fresh spearmint leaves (optional)

Instructions

To make this Stars and Stripes fruit salad

*I used a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut the watermelon into star shapes, but that is not necessary. You can cut it into cubes.

Place cut watermelon pieces, chopped jicama, and whole blueberries in large bowl. If adding spearmint leaves, add them as well. Cover and refrigerate.

Then in separate bowl make dressing by mixing together 1/2 cup of coconut milk with the zest and juice from the lime. Add in maple syrup and the salt and combine with whisk. Refrigerate and pour over watermelon, jicama & blueberries when you're ready to eat.
