This Peach Watermelon Salad is a vibrant, refreshing summer side featuring juicy watermelon, ripe peaches, fresh mint, and a light lime-honey dressing. It’s quick to prepare, healthy, and perfect for picnics, BBQs, or any warm-weather gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 large or 3 medium ripe peaches, sliced thin
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (from 1 large lime)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or agave for vegan option)
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut about 4 cups of seedless watermelon into 1-inch cubes, removing any stray seeds.
  2. Wash and dry peaches, slice in half, remove the pit, and cut into thin wedges.
  3. Finely chop fresh mint leaves.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice and honey until smooth.
  5. Add watermelon cubes and peach slices to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the lime-honey dressing and gently toss until evenly coated.
  6. Sprinkle chopped mint and crumbled feta cheese (if using) over the salad. Add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Transfer to a serving platter or bowl. Serve immediately, or chill for up to 2 hours for extra cold, juicy bites.

Notes

For best results, chill the fruit before assembling and toss the salad gently to avoid bruising. Add dressing and salt just before serving to prevent the salad from becoming watery. Easily make it vegan by omitting feta or using a plant-based alternative. Customize with other fruits, herbs, or a spicy kick as desired.
