Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups watermelon, cubed
  • 2 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Optional Additions

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced

Instructions

  1. Combine Fruit: In a large bowl, add the cubed watermelon and sliced peaches, making the juicy fruit base of your salad.
  2. Add Mint: Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint leaves over the fruit and gently toss to evenly distribute the refreshing herb without bruising the fruit.
  3. Dress Salad: Drizzle lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle the sea salt evenly to enhance and balance the natural sweetness of the fruit.
  4. Include Optional Ingredients: If desired, add the crumbled feta cheese, thinly sliced red onion, and sliced cucumber to introduce a savory and crisp contrast to the sweetness.
  5. Toss Gently: Carefully toss all ingredients together one final time to combine flavors while keeping the fruit intact.
  6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the salad for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and serve chilled for the best refreshing taste experience.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid them becoming mushy in the salad.
  • Adjust lime juice to your taste preference for tartness.
  • Optional feta cheese adds a creamy, salty touch but can be omitted for a dairy-free version.
  • Chill the salad before serving to enhance the refreshing qualities.
  • This salad is best enjoyed fresh and should be consumed within a day for optimal texture.
