Description

A refreshing and vibrant summer salad featuring juicy watermelon and ripe peaches, complemented by tangy feta cheese, crisp red onion, and fresh mint. Tossed in a zesty lime-honey dressing, this no-cook salad is perfect for warm weather and easy entertaining.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
