# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The mint and lime wake up the fruit's natural sweetness like morning sunlight
  • It comes together in fifteen minutes flat, leaving more time for actually eating
02 -
  • Watermelon releases liquid as it sits, so add the dressing just before serving if you're making this ahead
  • The lime juice keeps the peaches from oxidizing, but toss everything gently so you don't break down the fruit's structure
03 -
  • Cut your watermelon and peaches to roughly the same size for the best eating experience
  • Taste your fruit first—if it's exceptionally sweet, you can skip the honey in the dressing
