if you haven't had the opportunity to mix your watemelon with a salty feta, make sure you experiment with that this summer. The flavours are amazing and with the right herbs like mint, or lemon parsely it just adds an freshing spring to the taste.

- 1 small red onion shopping list
- juice of two limes shopping list
- 1.5 kg sweet, ripe watermelon (you can also use watermelon injected with kirtsh, or vermouth) shopping list

- bunch fresh mint, chopped shopping list
- 6-7 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil shopping list
- 100g pitted black olives that have been dried in an oven (about 45 minutes at 150 degrees) shopping list

How to make it

Watermelon season can't get here quick enough. This sounds like it was made for a hot night in August. Lovely combination.
