Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the fruits by cutting the watermelon into 1-inch cubes and slicing the peaches into thin wedges. Remove any pits from the peaches.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the watermelon cubes and peach slices.
  3. Add the chopped mint leaves and gently toss to distribute evenly.
  4. Drizzle with fresh lime juice and honey (if using). The lime juice enhances the natural sweetness and prevents browning.
  5. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt to balance the flavors.
  6. If using, add crumbled feta cheese and toasted nuts for extra texture and flavor.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.

Notes

Choose ripe fruits that are fragrant and slightly soft. Cut fruits into similar-sized pieces for even distribution. Serve chilled for maximum refreshment. Prepare fruits separately and combine just before serving to maintain optimal texture.
