Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 2 ripe but firm fresh peaches, sliced or cubed
  • 4 cups seedless watermelon chunks

Herbs and Seasoning

  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit: Wash and cut the peaches into bite-sized slices or cubes. Cut the watermelon into similar-sized chunks to ensure every spoonful has a balanced mix of both fruits.
  2. Chop fresh herbs: Rinse the fresh mint leaves and finely chop them to release their aroma without overpowering the salad.
  3. Combine and season: In a large bowl, gently toss together the peach slices, watermelon chunks, and chopped mint. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper for a subtle flavor boost.
  4. Add optional ingredients: If using, crumble feta cheese on top and drizzle lightly with honey or agave syrup. Give the salad one last gentle toss to combine all the flavors without bruising the fruit.

Notes

  • Select ripe fruits that yield slightly to pressure and have a sweet aroma for maximum flavor.
  • Keep the salad refrigerated until serving to maintain a refreshingly cool taste.
  • Cut all fruit into uniform, bite-sized pieces for consistent texture and flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs such as mint or basil instead of dried to ensure bright, vibrant flavors.
  • Adjust seasoning (salt and pepper) carefully to avoid overpowering the natural sweetness of the fruit.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; drain excess liquid before serving.
  • Avoid freezing as it changes the texture and juiciness of fruits dramatically.
  • Serve cold; reheating is not recommended.
