Ingredients
Scale
- 1 peach, pitted and cubed
- 2 cups watermelon, cubed
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 cup pineapple, cubed
- 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1 mango, peeled and cubed
- 1 nectarine, pitted and cubed
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 4 oz feta cheese, cut into small cubes
- For the Hot Honey-Mint Drizzle:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Wash and dry all fruits. Cube peach, watermelon, pineapple, mango, and nectarine into bite-sized pieces. Hull and halve strawberries. Peel and slice kiwi. Keep blueberries whole.
- Gently combine all prepared fruits in a large serving bowl. Add feta cubes and toss lightly to distribute evenly.
- Make the drizzle: In a small saucepan, combine honey, apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, and salt. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until honey is loose and mixture is warm. Remove from heat and stir in chopped fresh mint. Let cool slightly.
- Just before serving, drizzle the warm honey-mint mixture over the fruit and feta. Toss gently to coat. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
Notes
For best flavor, use a high-quality honey and ripe, in-season fruits. The drizzle can be made ahead and stored in the fridge, then gently reheated. If you prefer less heat, reduce or omit red pepper flakes.
