Watermelon, Mint and Feta Salad

Recipe for Watermelon and Feta Salad

Though it has – thankfully – cooled off a little here in the UK, watermelon still firmly has its place in providing refreshment where only stifling heat previously existed. So well does the fruit live up to its name that devouring but a few chunks feels akin to seeing off a good few glasses of ice-cold water. Happily – for this recipe for Watermelon, Mint and Feta Salad, at least – watermelon lends itself as well as any fruit to savoury concoctions, providing a sweet juiciness you can’t help but gobble.

This caramelised sweetness contrasts beautifully with the dark, salty quality of the soy sauce to create a unique and interesting salad you’ll not forget in a hurry.

Blood Orange and Fennel Salad

Blood Orange and Fennel Salad (4)/

In the depths of blood orange season are we. My local grocers has become inundated with swathes of them – 4 for a pound. This is good news. More tart and vibrant than their not-so-gory brothers, blood oranges are well employed in the savoury side of food (see my recipe for Blood Orange and Couscous salad). Added to any salad, particularly this recipe for Blood Orange and Fennel Salad, they immediately liven things up, bestowing colour, flavour and a refreshing juiciness.
