FAQs

Q: Can I make this salad ahead of time?
A: You can prepare it 30 minutes early, but do not make it many hours ahead. The watermelon will release water and make the salad soggy.

Q: Can I use frozen watermelon?
A: No. Use fresh watermelon. Frozen fruit becomes watery when it thaws.

Q: Is honey required?
A: No. Honey is optional. Use it if your peaches are not very sweet.

Q: Can I add other fruits?
A: Yes. Try sliced strawberries or a few blueberries for more color and flavor.
