Scale
Fruits
- 3 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
- 2 large ripe peaches, sliced
Dressing and Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons honey or balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Garnish
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the fruits: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the cubed watermelon and sliced peaches, ensuring the pieces are evenly combined without bruising the fruit.
- Add the dressing: Drizzle the lime juice and honey (or balsamic glaze) over the fruit mixture, distributing it evenly for a balanced sweet-tart flavor.
- Season the salad: Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper to enhance the flavors, mixing carefully to avoid breaking the fruit.
- Incorporate garnishes: Fold in the chopped fresh mint leaves and crumbled feta cheese lightly, maintaining the freshness and contrast in textures.
- Serve: Serve the salad immediately for the best freshness or chill for up to 2 hours to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, omit the feta cheese or substitute with a vegan alternative.
- Add arugula for a peppery twist that complements the sweetness.
- Incorporate sliced cucumber for extra crunch and freshness.
- Best served cold and freshly prepared for optimal taste and texture.
