Step 1: Begin by preparing your fruits. Cube the fresh watermelon into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Wash and slice your ripe peaches, carefully removing the pit. Add the peach slices to the bowl with the cubed watermelon.
Step 3: If you're opting for a little savory crunch, thinly slice the red onion and add it to the fruit mixture in the bowl.
Step 4: In a small separate bowl or a jar with a lid, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper until all ingredients are well combined to create your dressing.
Step 5: Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the watermelon, peach, and optional red onion mixture. Gently toss everything together, ensuring all the fruit is lightly coated with the flavorful dressing.
Step 6: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad. Give it another very gentle toss to incorporate the feta without breaking up the fruit too much.
Step 7: Garnish generously with fresh mint leaves for an added burst of freshness and color. Serve immediately and savor every refreshing bite!
