Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh peaches, sliced
- 3 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Wash all fruits thoroughly.
- Cut watermelon into bite-sized cubes and slice peaches into wedges.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the watermelon cubes and peach slices.
- Add crumbled feta cheese and chopped mint over the fruits.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice and honey until well combined.
- Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the fruit mixture.
- Gently toss until everything is evenly coated, avoiding mashing the fruit.
- Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For substitutions, replace feta with goat cheese for a tangier flavor, or use agave nectar instead of honey for a vegan version. To make ahead, assemble the salad without the dressing and add it just before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day, as the fruits may release juice over time. If the salad turns watery, simply drain excess liquid before serving. Avoid over-tossing to maintain the fruit’s shape and texture.
