Ingredients
  

Salad Base
  • 4 cups seedless watermelon cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 3 large yellow peaches ripe but firm, pitted and sliced
  • 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves roughly chopped or torn
Dressing and Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice about 1 large lime
  • 1 tbsp honey or agave nectar
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly cracked
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt optional

Equipment

  • Large serving bowl
  • Chef's Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Small whisk or fork

Method
 

  1. Chop the seedless watermelon into bite-sized cubes and slice the peaches. Place all the fruit into a large serving bowl.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the fresh lime juice and honey until the honey is completely dissolved.
  3. Pour the lime dressing over the watermelon and peaches. Gently toss to coat the fruit evenly.
  4. Scatter the torn fresh mint leaves over the salad and generously grind fresh black pepper over the top. Add a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt if desired.
  5. Give the salad one final gentle toss. Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving for maximum refreshment.

Notes

For the best flavor and texture, make sure your watermelon and peaches are well-chilled in the refrigerator before cutting and assembling the salad.
