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.
