This fruit salad was inspired by the bags of cherries that mark summer in my kitchen, which are unbelievably delicious with a medley of summer's vibrant red fruits. In case fresh pomegranate seeds are hard to come by, you can opt for the pre-prepared cups available in your supermarket's refrigerator section–or leave them off entirely. A syrupy honey and citrus dressing and crunchy walnuts brings this fruit salad to new heights.
Make the dressing. In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the lime juice and honey. Stir just until the honey is incorporated and the mixture is warm, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the rosewater, if using. Set aside to cool.
Mix the salad. In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, cherries, blackberries, raspberries, and pomegranate seeds (if using). Add the dressing and give the fruit a gentle toss to combine.
Finish and serve. Add the walnuts and mint and gently toss. Transfer the salad to a platter or individual bowls and serve.
