Description

This Peach Watermelon Salad is a refreshing and vibrant dish perfect for warm weather. Combining juicy watermelon and sweet peaches with fresh herbs, zesty lime juice, and a touch of red onion, it’s a delightful balance of flavors and textures. Optionally topped with crumbled feta cheese, this salad makes a fantastic light appetizer or side dish.

Ingredients

Fruits

  • 2 cups fresh watermelon, diced
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, diced (about 2 medium-sized peaches)

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

Other Ingredients

  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: Feta cheese, crumbled (for a savory touch)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruits and herbs. Dice the watermelon and peaches into bite-sized pieces, making sure they are fresh and ripe. Wash and dry the mint and basil leaves, then chop them finely. Finely chop the red onion as well.
  2. Combine ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, add the diced watermelon, peaches, finely chopped red onion, mint, and basil.
  3. Add lime juice. Squeeze the juice of one lime directly over the salad ingredients. Stir gently to ensure the flavors are well combined and the juice coats all pieces.
  4. Season the salad. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste, balancing the natural sweetness of the fruits with the seasoning.
  5. Add feta cheese (optional). If you like a savory contrast, add crumbled feta cheese and toss the salad gently to mix.
  6. Chill the salad. For an enhanced refreshing taste, cover the salad and chill it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve and enjoy. Transfer the salad to bowls or a serving platter and enjoy this fresh, flavorful salad.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches and watermelon for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Fresh herbs are key to the refreshing taste; do not substitute with dried herbs.
  • Chilling the salad enhances the flavors and makes it even more refreshing.
  • Feta cheese adds a salty, creamy contrast but can be omitted for a dairy-free option.
  • This salad is best served fresh on the same day it’s prepared.
