Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
  • 2 large ripe peaches, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the fruits: Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Slice the peaches into thin wedges, removing the pits, and add them to the bowl.
  2. Add fresh herbs: Chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the fruit mixture. The mint adds a refreshing note that complements the sweetness perfectly.
  3. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey (if using), and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.
  4. Combine and toss: Drizzle the dressing over the fruit and mint mixture. Gently toss everything together until the fruits are evenly coated.
  5. Chill and serve: For best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional mint or basil leaves if desired.

Notes

Choose ripe fruit: Select watermelons that feel heavy for their size and have a creamy yellow spot. Peaches should be fragrant and slightly soft. Keep it cold: Best served chilled. Prepare ingredients ahead and combine just before serving. Customize sweetness: Adjust honey based on fruit ripeness.
