Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 cups cubed watermelon (about 1 small watermelon)
  • 3 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons toasted almonds

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the fruits by cutting the watermelon into bite-sized cubes and slicing the peaches. Remove the pits from the peaches and cut them into wedges or slices.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, and sea salt until well combined. This simple dressing will enhance the natural sweetness of the fruits.
  3. Combine the watermelon, peaches, and mint leaves in a large serving bowl. Gently toss to mix the ingredients without crushing the delicate fruits.
  4. Drizzle the lime-honey dressing over the fruit mixture and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  5. If using, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and toasted almonds for extra flavor and texture. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Choose ripe fruits that yield slightly to gentle pressure. Prep fruits up to 2 hours ahead and store separately, combining just before serving. Can substitute basil for mint or add other summer fruits like berries or nectarines.
