Description
A refreshing, no-cook summer salad made with juicy watermelon, ripe peaches, fresh mint, tangy feta, and a light lime-honey dressing.
Ingredients
- 2 cups watermelon, cubed
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes and slice the peaches into thin wedges.
- Place the watermelon and peaches in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the chopped mint leaves and gently toss to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Drizzle the dressing over the fruit and gently toss again to coat evenly without crushing the peaches.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top and give it one final light toss before serving.
Notes
- For best flavor, use ripe peaches that are slightly soft and fragrant.
- Seedless watermelon works best for easy prep and serving.
- Add the dressing and feta just before serving if making ahead.
- Goat cheese can be used instead of feta for a creamier texture.
- Toasted almonds or walnuts add a nice crunch.
- Cucumber slices can be added for extra freshness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- This salad is meant to be served cold and should not be reheated.
