Peach Watermelon Mint Salad (Print)
Juicy peaches and watermelon with crisp cucumber, mint, and lime make the ultimate fresh summer salad.
# What You'll Need:
01 -
3 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
02 -
3 ripe peaches, sliced
03 -
1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
04 -
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
05 -
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
06 -
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
07 -
Pinch of sea salt
08 -
Crumbled feta cheese (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 -
Cube the watermelon into bite-sized pieces or use a melon baller for variation. Slice the peaches into wedges or thin slices, peeling them if desired. Toss both together in a large mixing bowl.
02 -
Thinly slice the cucumber and combine it with the watermelon and peaches. Chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the mixture to release their aroma.
03 -
In a small bowl, mix fresh lime juice, honey (if desired), and a pinch of sea salt. Add an extra squeeze of lime for additional tang if preferred.
04 -
Drizzle the dressing over the fruit mixture and toss gently, ensuring the peaches remain intact while lightly coating the fruit for balanced flavor.
05 -
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese if desired for a salty contrast. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For best results, keep the dressing separate and combine with the fruit just before serving to prevent excess moisture pooling at the bottom.
