Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium tomatoes cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 3 small cucumbers sliced
  • 3 large slices of watermelon about 3–4 cups, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 handful black olives
  • 200 g 7 oz feta cheese, cubed
  • 1 handful fresh basil leaves
  • a few fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Wash and prepare all the vegetables and herbs.
  2. Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Slice the cucumbers into rounds or half-moons, depending on their size.
  4. Cut the watermelon into cubes and remove any seeds if necessary.
  5. Thinly slice the red onion.
  6. Cube the feta cheese.
  7. Add the tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelon, onion, olives, feta, basil, and mint to a large serving bowl.
  8. Drizzle with the olive oil.
