watermelon and feta salad — dead simple but proper lush

Made this on Sunday and honestly it disappeared in about ten minutes. Oli had two bowls. Ingredients (serves 2–3) - 500g watermelon, cubed - 100g feta, crumbled - Half a cucumber, sliced into half moons - Small handful of fresh mint - 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil - Juice of half a lime - Pinch of chilli flakes (optional but do it) What to do Literally just combine everything. The trick is to dress it right before serving — watermelon weeps like anything if you leave it sitting. Crumble the feta over last so it doesn't all sink to the bottom. I picked up the watermelon and mint from the St Nicholas Market stall on Saturday. The mint was almost embarrassingly fragrant, which made a difference. Nutritionally speaking, this is lighter than it looks — roughly 180 kcal per portion, decent hit of vitamin C from the watermelon, and the feta adds a bit of calcium and protein to stop it feeling like you've just eaten air. Not a meal on its own tbh, but as a side or a starter it's spot on. You can swap feta for a vegan alternative if needed — a firm, salty one works best. Halloumi crumbled in would also be gert good here, mind.
