Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 cups cubed watermelon (about 1 small watermelon)
  • 3 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the fruits by cutting the watermelon into bite-sized cubes and slicing the peaches. Remove peach pits and cut into wedges or slices.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the watermelon cubes and peach slices. Be careful not to crush the delicate fruits.
  3. Whisk together the lime juice, honey, and sea salt in a small bowl until well combined. This simple dressing enhances the natural sweetness of the fruits.
  4. Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture and toss gently to coat. Add the chopped mint leaves and toss once more.
  5. If using feta cheese, sprinkle it over the top just before serving. This adds a lovely salty contrast to the sweet fruits.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This salad is best enjoyed fresh.

Notes

Choose ripe fruits: Select peaches that are fragrant and give slightly when pressed gently. Watermelon should feel heavy for its size and have a creamy yellow spot where it rested on the ground. Make ahead: You can prepare the fruits and dressing separately up to 4 hours in advance. Combine them just before serving to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
