“This is a simple but super refreshing salad that really hits the spot on a hot day,” says registered nutritional therapist Alex Allan. “The watermelon and cucumber provide great hydration and are nicely offset by the salty feta and olives. This goes really well with a barbecue”

Ingredients

½ watermelon, cut into cubes

1 cucumber, peeled and deseeded, cut into cubes

100g feta, crumbled

50g pitted Kalamata olives, sliced

Handful mint leaves, chopped

Handful basil leaves, chopped

For the dressing

2 tbsp good quality olive oil

1 tbsp lemon juice

Seasoning to taste

Method

Prepare the melon, cucumber, feta and olives, and mix gently in a bowl.
Scatter over the chopped herbs.
Whisk together the dressing ingredients and drizzle over the salad. Toss gently to combine.
Enjoy!
