Preparation

Prepare the watermelon and berries, then gently place them in a large serving bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, lime zest and orange zest until you get a smooth dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the fruits. Sprinkle with finely chopped fresh mint and fresh basil, then mix very gently with a large spoon to coat everything without breaking the fruit.
Serve immediately.
