Ingredients

  • 1 red onion
  • 4 limes
  • 1 medium watermelon
  • 250 grams feta cheese

  • 4 tbsp olive oil

  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.

  4. Add black pepper to taste.
