Make this refreshing peach watermelon salad, a perfect no cook summer recipe combining sweet fruit with salty feta and fresh mint for a light barbecue side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups cubed watermelon
  • 2 cups sliced fresh peaches
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit: Cube the watermelon and slice the peaches. Place both fruits in a large bowl.
  2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until combined.
  3. Combine: Gently pour the dressing over the fruit mixture. Toss lightly to coat.
  4. Add cheese and herbs: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped mint leaves over the salad. Toss very gently one more time.
  5. Serve immediately: For the best texture, serve this easy fresh fruit salad right away. If you must prepare ahead, keep the fruit and dressing separate and combine just before serving to prevent sogginess.

Notes

  • This salad works well with grilled peach ideas; grill the peaches lightly before cubing for a smoky flavor.
  • For a different approach, substitute basil for mint.
  • This recipe is great for patio entertaining recipes and serving a crowd.
