Ingredients

  • 6 cups fresh watermelon, cubed
  • 3 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes and slice the peaches into thin wedges.
  2. Place the watermelon and peaches in a large serving bowl.
  3. Drizzle the lime juice over the fruit and add honey if desired.

  6. Add crumbled feta cheese if using.
  7. Season lightly with salt to taste.

Notes

  • For best texture and flavor, serve the salad fresh.
  • Ripe but firm peaches work best and hold their shape well.
  • Fresh basil can be used instead of mint for a different flavor profile.
  • Add blueberries, strawberries, or cucumber for variation.
  • Toasted almonds, pecans, or pistachios add extra crunch.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Freezing is not recommended as the fruit texture will change after thawing.
