Step-by-Step Instructions

Wash the peaches under cool water, slice them into wedges or bite-sized chunks, and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Cut the watermelon in half, scoop out the flesh, and chop it into 1-inch cubes; add to the bowl with the peach slices.
Rinse mint leaves gently, pat dry, chop roughly, and add to the mixing bowl.
Sprinkle the mixture with sea salt and black pepper, and gently toss together.
Squeeze lemon or lime juice over the salad and toss again.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy the dish as a refreshing side or light lunch.
