Ingredients
  

2 cups diced ripe watermelon

2 cups diced fresh peaches (about 2 medium peaches)

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Juice of 1 lime

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup toasted pistachios or almonds for crunch (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruits: Start by washing the watermelon and peaches. Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes and the peaches into wedges or small chunks.

    Mix the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the diced watermelon, diced peaches, and sliced red onion.

      Add the Feta: Crumble the feta cheese over the fruit mixture, gently folding everything together to distribute the ingredients evenly.

        Dress the Salad: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle this dressing over the salad and toss gently, ensuring the fruits are coated without breaking them apart.

          Finishing Touches: Add the chopped mint leaves and toss again. For an extra crunch, sprinkle the toasted pistachios or almonds on top just before serving.

            Chill and Serve: For best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve cold as a refreshing side dish or light meal!
