Make this easy summer salad recipe featuring sweet peaches, juicy watermelon, salty feta, and fresh mint. It is a perfect, no cook summer meal for picnics or light lunch ideas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups cubed seedless watermelon
  • 3 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare your fruit: Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes. Slice the peaches thinly.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the watermelon and peaches.
  3. Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves and crumbled feta cheese over the fruit mixture.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic glaze, salt, and pepper to create the light dressing.
  5. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad. Toss very gently to coat the ingredients without crushing the fruit.
  6. Serve this refreshing summer side dish immediately, or chill for up to 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a gourmet picnic food option, you can grill the peach slices for 2 minutes per side before adding them to the salad for a smoky flavor.
  • If you want a sweet and savory salad recipe with more depth, try using a honey-lime vinaigrette instead of the balsamic glaze.
  • This salad pairs well with grilled chicken or shrimp if you want to turn it into a main course.
