Watermelon and feta salad
A refreshing combination of watermelon and feta with cucumber and mint, this salad brings the flavours of a Greek island to your summer barbecue or supper party.
Ingredients
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- ½ tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ watermelon (or 1 small watermelon), approx. 1.6kg/3lb 8oz
- 1 cucumber, peeled
- ½ bunch fresh mint, leaves roughly chopped
- 200g/7oz feta, crumbled
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
Put the onion in a large mixing bowl, add the vinegar and leave for 10 minutes.
Whisk in the honey and olive oil and season generously.
Peel the watermelon and cut into 2–3cm/approx 1in pieces, discarding any obvious pips (it doesn’t matter if you miss a few). Cut the cucumber into slightly smaller pieces. Add them both to the bowl with the dressing, then add the mint and the feta. Mix everything together and serve straight away.
