Ingredients
For the salad
- 1 small watermelon, chopped into thin slices
- 1 large cucumber, halved lengthways, deseeded and sliced diagonally into half moons
- 200g feta, crumbled
- Small bunch fresh mint, leaves picked and roughly chopped
- Small bunch fresh coriander, leaves picked and roughly chopped
- Small bunch fresh basil, leaves picked and roughly chopped
- 2 handfuls salted roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
For the dressing
- 2 tbsp chilli jam (we used Tracklements)
- Finely grated zest 1 lime and juice 2
- 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Method
- Toss all the salad ingredients together in a large bowl, reserving a few of the peanuts to scatter later.
- To make the dressing, combine the chilli jam, lime zest and juice and the olive oil in a small bowl or jug, then taste and season.
- Toss most of the dressing through the salad, then transfer to a large serving platter. Scatter over the reserved peanuts, then drizzle over the rest of the dressing. Leave the salad to sit for a couple of minutes to absorb the flavours, then serve.
