Description

This Peach Watermelon Salad brings together the luscious sweetness of peaches and the crisp juiciness of watermelon in a refreshing dish perfect for summer gatherings. Bursting with color and flavor, it’s a bright and beautiful addition to any warm-weather menu.

Ingredients

Scale

4 cups cubed watermelon (from 1 medium watermelon)
2 cups sliced fresh peaches (3 to 4 medium peaches)
1 cup crumbled feta cheese (or goat cheese for a stronger taste)
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Wash and slice the peaches, then cube the watermelon. Choose fruit that’s ripe but not overly soft.
Place the watermelon and peach slices into a large bowl, mixing gently to maintain the shape of the fruit.
Top with crumbled feta or goat cheese for a creamy, salty contrast to the fruit.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Pour this over the fruit mixture and toss lightly to coat.
Add chopped mint leaves and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes before serving to enhance the flavor blend.

Notes

For the freshest taste, prep fruits and dressing ahead but combine just before serving. Add some toasted nuts like almonds or walnuts for a crunchy twist. This pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken or seafood, or stands out on its own as a vibrant side dish.
