Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 cups cubed watermelon (about 1 small watermelon)
  • 3 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
  • ΒΌ cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the fruits by cutting the watermelon into 1-inch cubes and slicing the peaches. Remove peach pits and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the watermelon cubes and peach slices. Be careful not to crush the delicate fruits.
  3. Add the chopped mint leaves to the fruit mixture. The mint adds a refreshing herbal note that complements the sweetness perfectly.
  4. Drizzle with fresh lime juice and honey (if using). The lime juice brightens the flavors while the honey enhances natural sweetness.
  5. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt to balance the flavors. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
  6. Chill for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm fruits. Cut fruits just before serving to prevent browning. Customize with additional fruits like nectarines, plums, or berries. For best texture, prepare no more than 2-3 hours in advance.
