It is so hot at
the moment that cooking becomes a chore and we are eating lots of salads
This one was
popular several years ago and we thought it about time to revive it given that
watermelon is in season. Besides some chopping, there is not much to do. And it
looks and tastes sensational. Sousing the onion in lime or lemon juice takes
away that raw onion flavour that makes it repeatable and indigestible
Small red onion –
30 ml lime juice - 1.5 kg ripe watermelon – 250g feta cheese - 100g black
calamata olives - good handful of fresh mint - good handful of fresh flat leaf
parsley - 4 T extra virgin olive oil - black pepper
Peel and thinly
slice a small red onion. Marinade this in lime juice for at least one hour. Cut
watermelon into roughly 2.5 cm cubes and remove all the pips. Cut the
feta cheese into similar sized cubes. Stone the olives and cut in half. Roughly
chop the mint and parsley. Combine everything in a large salad bowl and
pour over the lime juice with the onion and olive oil. Add a good grinding
of black pepper. Mix gently but well. Chill in your fridge for a couple of
hours for the flavours to blend.
