Ingredients
  

Recipe Components
  • 4 cups (600g) Seedless Watermelon Cut into 1-inch uniform cubes
  • 2 large Yellow Peaches Sliced into thick crescents, skin on
  • 1/2 cup (75g) Feta Cheese Irregularly crumbled from a block
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Mint Leaves Whole, bright green leaves
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) Lime Juice Freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Honey Or agave nectar for a light sweetness
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Extra-Virgin Olive Oil To create a glossy sheen
  • 1 pinch Flaky Sea Salt To enhance the fruit flavors

Equipment

  • 1 Chef's Knife Sharp knife for uniform cubing.
  • 1 Shallow White Ceramic Bowl For optimal plating and visual contrast.
  • 1 Small Whisk To emulsify the citrus glaze.

Method
 

Prep the Fruit
  1. Cut the deep red seedless watermelon into uniform 1-inch (2.5cm) cubes and place in a shallow bowl.
  2. Slice the ripe yellow peaches into thick crescent shapes, keeping the golden skins intact for visual contrast.
Mix and Plate
  1. In a small jar, whisk the lime juice, honey, and olive oil until it forms a translucent, glossy glaze.
  2. Drizzle the glaze over the fruit. Scatter irregular crumbles of white feta cheese and layer whole mint leaves throughout for an organic look.

Notes

Keep the watermelon chilled until the very last second for maximum refreshing impact.
Use a high-quality block of feta in brine for the best texture and salty contrast.
