Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Cutting board
- Sharp Knife
- Small bowl for dressing
- Whisk
- Spoon for tossing
Ingredients
- 4 cups cubed watermelon (600 g)
- 3 ripe peaches, sliced thinly
- 0.5 cup blueberries (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint, plus extra for garnish
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes and slice the peaches. If the peaches are very ripe, handle them gently to keep their shape. Add all the fruit to a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice and honey. Pour the mixture over the fruit and add a pinch of salt to bring out the natural sweetness.
- Add chopped mint and gently toss the salad until the fruit is evenly coated. Refrigerate for about 10 to 15 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
- Spoon into bowls or a serving dish and garnish with more mint or feta cheese if desired. Serve cold for a refreshing finish.
Notes
Use the ripest fruit you can for best flavor. Chill before serving. Add feta or nuts just before serving to keep their texture. Prepare dressing separately if making ahead, and combine right before serving to prevent sogginess.
