Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 cups diced watermelon
  • 2 cups diced peaches
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash the Fruit: Start by washing the watermelon and peaches under cool running water to remove any dirt or residues, ensuring your fruit is clean and fresh.
  2. Prepare Watermelon: Cut the watermelon into small cubes about 1 inch in size, making sure to remove all seeds for a smooth, seedless salad.
  3. Prepare Peaches: Cut the peaches in half, remove the pits, slice into thin wedges, and then dice the slices to match the size of the watermelon cubes for even texture.
  4. Combine Fruits: Place the diced watermelon and peaches into a large mixing bowl and gently stir to mix the fruits uniformly.
  5. Chop Mint: Pick fresh mint leaves from their stems, discard the stems, and finely chop the leaves to release their fresh aroma and flavor.
  6. Add Mint: Stir the chopped mint leaves into the fruit mixture evenly, infusing the salad with a refreshing herbal note.
  7. Sweeten: Drizzle one tablespoon of honey over the fruit and mint mixture, coating all pieces to enhance their natural sweetness.
  8. Add Lime Juice: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the salad carefully, avoiding seeds to add a bright, tangy contrast.
  9. Season: Sprinkle sea salt followed by black pepper into the mixture, balancing the sweetness with a subtle savory kick.
  10. Final Stir: Gently toss all ingredients together one last time to fully combine and coat with the dressing elements for harmonious flavor.
  11. Rest: Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen, improving the overall taste experience.
  12. Serve: Serve immediately for a fresh taste or refrigerate for up to one hour for a chilled, refreshing dish perfect for warm days.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use ripe, in-season peaches and sweet watermelon.
  • Honey can be substituted with agave nectar or maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • Chilling the salad enhances its refreshing qualities, especially on hot days.
  • Fresh mint can be adjusted according to taste; more mint adds a stronger aromatic flavor.
  • This salad is best consumed within 1 day to maintain freshness and texture.
