  • 3 ripe peaches, sliced

Method
 

Build the salad
  1. Add the seedless watermelon, cubed and the ripe peaches, sliced to a large serving bowl.
  2. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and the fresh mint leaves, chopped over the fruit.
Make the lime-honey dressing
  1. Whisk together the fresh lime juice, honey, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until the honey loosens and the dressing looks smooth.
  2. Drizzle the dressing over the salad.
  3. Toss gently to combine, keeping the fruit pieces intact.
Chill and serve
  1. Refrigerate the salad for 15 minutes before serving.
  2. Garnish with additional fresh mint and lime wedges for serving.

Notes

For the juiciest texture, cube the watermelon and slice the peaches close to serving time, then chill only 15 minutes so the fruit stays crisp. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days; for best texture, garnish with lime wedges right before serving. To make it dairy-free, swap feta for a crumbled vegan feta or omit it and add a pinch of extra mint.
