Instructions

  • In a big bowl, toss together your cubed watermelon and peach wedges. You9re layering fresh juicy base here, gotta be gentle or you9ll smoosh the fruit.
  • Add that fresh basil leaves in next. The aroma gets stronger and it smells seriously inviting. You can kinda tear the leaves if you want the flavor more spread out.
  • Toss in your crumbled feta cheese. This salty creamy texture gonna stick to those fruit pieces and bring balance. Then stir in chopped pistachios for crunch and color.
  • Whisk the dressing in a small bowl: olive oil, champagne vinegar, honey, and fig preserves if you9re feeling fancy. Make sure it9s smooth and blended.
  • Pour that dressing over your fruit and cheese bowl. Gently toss to coat every bit without breaking your fruit apart. You want all those flavors mingling but staying fresh.
  • Sprinkle chopped fresh chives on top before serving. The green pops, and it adds a fresh light bite to each forkful.
  • Finish with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and if you9re up to it, chili flakes for just that little kick. Perfect for summer vibes or anytime you want a snack that sings.

Notes

For extra freshness, add pistachios and chives right before serving instead of mixing in early.
