Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon
  • 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: 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (omit for vegan version)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the fruits: Cut the watermelon into 1-inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl. Slice the peaches into thin wedges and add to the watermelon.
  2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.
  3. Combine and toss: Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to coat all pieces evenly.
  4. Add fresh herbs: Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves over the salad and give it one final gentle toss.
  5. Chill and serve: For best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm peaches that yield slightly to pressure. For watermelon, look for one that feels heavy for its size with a creamy yellow spot. Prepare fruits and dressing separately up to 2 hours in advance and combine just before serving for optimal texture.
