2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

- Wash the peaches and watermelon thoroughly. Slice the peaches and cube the watermelon into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the arugula or mixed greens with the chopped mint leaves and gently toss together.
- Carefully fold in the sliced peaches and cubed watermelon, taking care not to crush the fruit.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the salad mixture.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently so everything is lightly coated.
- For extra refreshment, chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before serving if desired.
- Transfer to a serving platter or individual bowls and serve immediately.
Notes
Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas for extra protein.
For added crunch, include toasted almonds or pecans.
Swap balsamic vinegar with fresh lime juice for a brighter flavor.
Fresh basil can be used instead of mint for a different herbal twist.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, keeping the dressing separate if possible.
