Ingredients

Fruits

  • 3 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
  • 2 ripe peaches, sliced or cubed

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, torn

Dressing & Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled


Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cubed watermelon, sliced peaches, thinly sliced cucumber, red onion, and torn fresh mint leaves. Gently toss these ingredients together to mix them evenly without breaking the fruit.
  2. Add dressing and seasoning: Drizzle the olive oil and fresh lime juice over the fruit and vegetable mixture. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Toss gently again to ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients.
  3. Serve with feta: Just before serving, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top of the salad. Serve chilled for the best refreshing experience.

Notes

  • For added protein, serve with grilled chicken or shrimp.
  • You can substitute goat cheese for feta if preferred.
  • Add arugula or other greens to boost the salad’s nutrition and texture.
  • Best served immediately after assembling to maintain freshness and texture.
