Prep: EASY
6 Servings
Ingredients
• 250g watermelon
• ½ cucumber
• 100g red and yellow baby plum tomatoes
• 25g fresh mint
• 200g feta cheese
• 2 tbsp pickled red onion
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 200g rocket
• 20g fresh basil
Method
- Peel the watermelon, remove the seeds and dice it into small bitesize chunks. Slice the cucumber in half lengthways, remove the seeds and thinly slice. Cut the tomatoes into halves or quarters. Thinly chop the fresh mint into little strips. Using your fingers, crumble the feta cheese into small pieces.
- Place all the above ingredients into a bowl and gently toss all together so they are well mixed, then add the sliced pickled red onions.
- Mix the balsamic and extra virgin olive oil together with a little salt and cracked black pepper and pour over the salad mix. Using a spoon, gently stir the dressing until everything has a coating over it.
- Place the rocket leaves in the centre of a plate and then spoon on the salad in the centre so the leaves can still be seen. Tear the basil leaves and sprinkle on top of the salad just before serving.
