Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cup seedless watermelon cubed
  • 4 peaches ripe, sliced
  • 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves torn
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 0.5 tsp lime zest
  • 1 flaky sea salt pinch
  • 0.25 cup feta cheese optional, crumbled

Method
 

Combine the fruit
  1. Add the cubed seedless watermelon and the sliced peaches to a large wide bowl and spread them into an even layer.
  2. Whisk together the lime juice, honey, and lime zest in a small bowl until the honey is mostly dissolved and the mixture looks smooth.
Dress and finish
  1. Pour the lime dressing over the seedless watermelon and peaches and toss gently until all the fruit is lightly coated.
  2. Scatter the torn fresh mint leaves over the top so they’re visible throughout the salad.
  3. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the fruit and toss very lightly just once to distribute.
  4. If using, add the crumbled feta cheese over the top and gently fold once to keep the fruit cubes intact.
Serve
  1. Serve immediately for maximum freshness, or cover and refrigerate up to 1 hour before serving.

Notes

For best texture, cut the watermelon and peaches right before mixing so the fruit stays juicy but not watery. Refrigerate in a covered container up to 1 day (flavor stays good, but mint may darken). Freezing isn’t recommended due to high water content. Dietary swap: omit the feta for a dairy-free version, keeping the lime-mint dressing the same.
