Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Cube the watermelon, slice the peaches, cucumber, and red onion, and place everything into a large serving bowl.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, lime zest, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Assemble the salad: Add the crumbled feta cheese, mint, and basil to the fruit mixture.
- Dress the salad: Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the salad and gently toss until evenly coated.

Notes
For the best flavor, use chilled watermelon and perfectly ripe peaches. Assemble the salad just before serving to keep the fruit fresh and juicy. Goat cheese can be substituted for feta, and arugula makes a delicious addition for extra freshness.
