Scale
Fruit
- 2 cups watermelon, cubed
- 2 cups peaches, sliced

Instructions
- Combine fruits and onion: In a large bowl, add the cubed watermelon, sliced peaches, and thinly sliced red onion to create the fresh fruit base of the salad.
- Add herbs and cheese: Stir in the chopped fresh mint leaves and crumbled feta cheese, which add brightness and creaminess to the mixture.
- Prepare dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to create a light, tangy dressing that complements the fruit and cheese.
- Toss salad: Drizzle the dressing over the combined ingredients in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together to evenly coat the salad without bruising the fruit.
