Peach Watermelon Summer Salad (Print-Friendly Version)
Juicy watermelon and ripe peaches combine with cool cucumber, fresh mint and zesty lime for the ultimate summer refreshment.
# Ingredients List:
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 a playful shape. Slice the peaches into wedges or thin slices. Toss them together in a large mixing bowl.
02 -
Thinly slice the cucumber and add it to the bowl. Chop the fresh mint leaves and scatter them over the fruit.
03 -
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, honey (if using), and a pinch of sea salt. Add an extra squeeze of lime, if desired, for more tang.
04 -
Drizzle the dressing over the fruit and toss gently to avoid breaking up the peaches. Ensure the dressing lightly coats the salad.
05 -
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl. If desired, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese for a salty contrast. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
If preparing ahead, keep the dressing separate and toss it with the fruit just before serving to prevent excess moisture pooling.
