This cubed watermelon, peach, and feta salad is almost too pretty to eat...almost.
Today I'm keeping this post short and simple in honor of this short and simple recipe. I know you've got summery things to do and I have summery things to do - so I'm going to leave you with this beautiful salad that's perfect for taking to a last-minute dinner at a friend's house. That's what I used it for - 10 minutes of prep and I was out the door and on my way.
Prep is the key word here - taking the time to cut your watermelon, peaches, and feta into similarly sized cubes will make the salad all the more attractive - almost like something you would get at a fancy restaurant! Do me a favor and use a REAL cube of quality feta; not the low-fat, crumbly. chalk-like stuff. It adds an element of luxurious indulgence to an otherwise super healthy side. You won't regret adding it, I promise! Fresh produce + creamy cheese + fruit olive oil + aged balsamic + allllll the basil/mint = summertime bliss.
Enjoy these last few lazy weeks of summer!
