Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon (1-inch pieces)
  • 3 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: ΒΌ cup crumbled feta cheese (omit for dairy-free)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the fruits by washing the peaches and watermelon thoroughly. Cut the watermelon into 1-inch cubes, removing any seeds if necessary. Slice the peaches into thin wedges or bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, honey, and a pinch of sea salt until the honey dissolves completely. This simple dressing will enhance the natural sweetness of the fruits.
  3. Combine the watermelon and peach pieces in a large mixing bowl. Gently toss them together to distribute evenly.
  4. Pour the lime-honey dressing over the fruit mixture and add the chopped mint leaves. Toss gently to coat all pieces without crushing the delicate fruits.
  5. If using feta cheese, sprinkle it over the top just before serving. Chill for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld, or serve immediately for maximum crispness.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm fruits for best texture. Prep fruits up to 2 hours ahead and store separately, combining with dressing just before serving. Salad pairs well with grilled meats and makes an excellent side for summer BBQs.
