Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- Start by washing the watermelon and peaches under cool running water to remove any dirt or residues.
- Cut the watermelon into small cubes, ensuring you remove all seeds before dicing it into approximately 1-inch pieces.
- Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. Slice each peach into thin wedges, then dice the slices into small cubes similar in size to the watermelon.
- Place the diced watermelon and peaches into a large mixing bowl, gently stirring to combine them.
- Pick fresh mint leaves from the stem, discard any stems, and finely chop the leaves to release their aroma and flavor.
- Add the chopped mint leaves to the fruit mixture, stirring gently so the mint is evenly distributed.
- Drizzle one tablespoon of honey over the fruit mixture, ensuring it coats the watermelon and peaches evenly.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice into the bowl, ensuring no seeds fall into the mixture.
- Sprinkle a quarter teaspoon of sea salt into the bowl, followed by a quarter teaspoon of black pepper, adding a subtle savory balance to the sweetness of the fruit.
- Gently stir the salad one last time, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined and coated with the lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper.
- Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate it for up to an hour before serving for a refreshing, chilled dish.
