Instructions

Combine the ingredients
In a large bowl, place the stone fruit wedges, watermelon balls, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, basil, and mint. -
Toss gently
Carefully toss the ingredients together so the fruit and cheese stay intact. -
Season the salad
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt to taste. -
Serve
Serve immediately while fresh and chilled.
Notes
-
Use ripe but firm stone fruit to keep the salad from becoming mushy.
-
Chill the fruit beforehand for an extra refreshing summer dish.

Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or honey for additional sweetness.
-
For a heartier version, add prosciutto or grilled chicken.
-
Swap mozzarella for burrata if you want a richer presentation.
