Ingredients

For the Cubes

• 3 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 3 ripe peaches, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 6 oz (170 g) feta cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
• Fresh mint leaves, for layering and garnish

For the Hot Honey-Mint Drizzle

• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
• Pinch of sea salt

How to Make Peach, Watermelon & Feta Cubes

1. Prepare the Fruit

Cut the watermelon and peaches into evenly sized 1-inch cubes.

Gently pat the watermelon with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps keep the cubes neat and prevents the serving platter from becoming watery.

2. Prepare the Feta

Cut the feta into cubes roughly the same size as the watermelon and peaches.

Keeping the ingredients similar in size makes the final presentation more uniform and easier to serve.

3. Make the Hot Honey-Mint Drizzle

Add the honey, red pepper flakes, fresh lime juice and lime zest to a small saucepan.

Warm gently over low heat for 2–3 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the finely chopped fresh mint and a pinch of sea salt.

4. Assemble the Cubes

Arrange the watermelon, peach and feta cubes on a serving platter, alternating the ingredients as you go.

Tuck fresh mint leaves between the cubes for a colourful and fresh presentation.

5. Add the Drizzle

Lightly drizzle the warm hot honey-mint mixture over the fruit and feta.

Try not to completely cover the cubes so the colours and individual ingredients remain visible.

6. Garnish and Serve

Finish with extra fresh mint and a little lime zest.

Serve immediately while the fruit is chilled, juicy and refreshing.

Tips for the Best Fruit and Feta Cubes

• Choose ripe peaches: Use peaches that are ripe enough to be juicy but still firm enough to cut into neat cubes.
• Keep the cubes even: Similar-sized pieces make the platter look more polished and make each bite balanced.
• Dry the watermelon: Gently patting the cubes with paper towels removes excess moisture.
• Adjust the heat: Use more or less red pepper flakes depending on how spicy you want the honey drizzle.
• Add the mint after warming: Stirring the fresh mint into the warm honey after removing it from the heat keeps the herb flavour bright.
• Serve straight away: These cubes are best enjoyed immediately while the fruit is chilled and juicy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use another type of melon?

This recipe specifically uses seedless watermelon, which provides the juicy and refreshing base for the cubes.

Can I make the honey drizzle less spicy?

Yes. The red pepper flakes are listed as “or to taste”, so you can adjust the amount according to your preference.

Can I prepare these cubes ahead of time?

The fruit and feta can be prepared ahead, but for the freshest presentation, assemble and drizzle the cubes shortly before serving.

Can I skip the fresh mint?

Fresh mint is used both in the drizzle and as a garnish, providing a bright herbal flavour. If you prefer, you can adjust the amount to your taste.

Should the honey drizzle be hot when served?

The honey mixture is gently warmed before serving. It should be warm rather than very hot when drizzled over the chilled fruit and feta.
