This salad, though simple, is summer on a plate even if it’s not outside. The saltiness of the feta means it doesn’t need salt, just a grinding of fresh pepper.
Serves 4.
Ingredients:
700g watermelon cubed
280g feta
A few sprigs of finely chopped mint
A big splash of extra virgin olive oil
This recipe is from the Polpo cookbook and the only change I’ve made is that I’ve added maple syrup instead of the sugar. The salad dressing is made in the oven with the roasting tomatoes and takes on their flavour. Yum.
Serves 4.
Ingredients:
A punnet( approx 500g) of cherry or plum tomatoes
Olive oil
Red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
A handful of chopped fresh oregano leaves
4 x 125 g mozzarella balls
Salad leaves
Salt and pepper
A delicious starter or light main course the walnuts add a bit of crunchiness and the mint makes it delicious. It’s lovely on its own or with crusty bread and other salads.
