Ingredients

• 1 red onion
• 4 limes
• 1 medium watermelon
• 250 grams feta cheese
• 1 bunch fresh parsley
• 1 bunch fresh mint, chopped
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 100 grams black olives, pitted

Instructions

1. Peel and halve red onion, slicing it into fine half-moons. Place it in a small bowl to steep with the lime juice.
2. Remove the rind and seeds from the watermelon, and cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks. Cut feta into similar pieces, and put them in a large bowl. Don’t chop the parsley, instead tear off sprigs and add them to the bowl along with the chopped mint.
3. Add the onions and juice into the bowl along with the oil and olives. Toss the salad gently so that the feta and watermelon don’t lose their shape.
4. Add black pepper to taste.
