Ingredients
  

Salad
  • 4 cup seedless watermelon, cubed
  • 3 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 0.25 small red onion, thinly sliced
Honey Lime Dressing
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.125 tsp black pepper

Method
 

Assemble the salad
  1. Add watermelon cubes and peach slices to a large serving bowl.
  2. Top with feta cheese, chopped mint, and thinly sliced red onion.
Make the honey lime dressing
  1. Whisk fresh lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until combined and glossy.
Dress, toss, and chill
  1. Pour the dressing over the salad evenly.
  2. Toss gently to combine, keeping the fruit pieces intact.
  3. Chill the salad for 15 minutes before serving.
  4. Garnish with additional mint and feta if desired.

Notes

For the best texture, keep the watermelon and peaches cold before assembling so the salad stays crisp after dressing. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days; drain any excess liquid before serving again. Freezing is not recommended due to the fruit’s watery texture. For a dairy-light option, use a plant-based feta or omit the feta and add extra mint for a fresher profile.
