Watermelon and feta salad

Such a fresh and delicious summer salad that goes with so many things.  It's just as good on a dinner table as with a barbeque. ​If your crowd might just enjoy this fresh, zesty salad simply with watermelon, feta and mint spritzed with lime, enjoy. But these extras make it truly special! 

Ingredients - serves 8

• 1 small red onion
• 2-4 limes, depending on juiciness
• 1.5 kg sweet, ripe watermelon
• 250g feta cheese
• Bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley
• Bunch fresh mint, chopped
• 3-4 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 100g pitted black olives
• Black pepper
  

​

1. Peel and halve the red onion and slice each half finely. Put in a small bowl with the lime juice to bring out the pink colour. Two limes should do it, but add more if they are not particularly juicy.
2. Remove the rind and pips from the watermelon and cut into (approx.) 4 cm chunks. Cut the feta into similar sized pieces and put them both into a large, shallow bowl.
3. Tear off large sprigs of parsley and add to the bowl, along with the chopped mint.
4. The onion should now be a glorious pink. Gently add it and the juices to the watermelon and feta. Season with black pepper.
