Ingredients
Fruits
- 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
- 3 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
Vegetables & Herbs
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
Dressing & Toppings
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine the main ingredients: In a large serving bowl, gently combine the cubed watermelon, sliced peaches, crumbled feta cheese, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped fresh mint leaves, mixing carefully to keep the fruit intact.
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well emulsified and smooth.
- Toss the salad: Drizzle the lime-honey dressing evenly over the fruit and feta mixture. Toss lightly to coat all ingredients without bruising the delicate fruit pieces.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the salad for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and serve chilled for the best refreshing taste.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, omit the feta cheese or substitute with a plant-based alternative.
- This salad is best served fresh on the day it is made to maintain optimal texture and flavor.
- Adjust honey quantity for preferred sweetness, especially if peaches are very ripe.
- Mint can be substituted with basil for a different herbal twist.
