Ingredients
  

Fruit base
  • 3 cup watermelon, cubed
  • 2 peaches, sliced
  • 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
  • 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
Lime dressing
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 0.25 tsp flaky sea salt
Optional topping
  • 0.25 cup crumbled feta (optional)

Method
 

Assemble the fruit salad
  1. Arrange the cubed watermelon and sliced peaches on a large serving platter in an even layer so every bite has fruit.
  2. Scatter the thinly sliced red onion over the fruit so it distributes throughout the salad.
  3. Whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, and honey until smooth, then set the bowl aside.
  4. Drizzle the lime dressing evenly over the salad, letting it coat the fruit without pooling too heavily.
  5. Top with torn mint leaves and flaky sea salt, then add crumbled feta if using.
  6. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor while the fruit is crisp and juicy.

Notes

For the cleanest flavor, slice the peaches right before assembling and keep the salad uncovered in the fridge no more than 1 hour to prevent watery fruit. Freezing isn’t recommended because the watermelon texture softens. If you want a dairy-free option, simply skip the feta (the mint-lime dressing still works great).
