- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (Provides a pinch of bite.)
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (Tear leaves to release oils before garnishing.)
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (Use high-quality olive oil for best flavor.)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (Adds a slightly sweet tang.)
- to taste none salt (A pinch to enhance flavors.)

Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, cubed watermelon, and red onion.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle the dressing over the fruit salad and toss gently to combine.
