WATERMELON & TOMATO SALAD
Watermelon, feta and mint sing together because the fruit’s juicy, candy sweet crunch contrasts beautifully with salty, creamy feta while mint cuts through with a bright, cooling lift. Together they create a perfect balance of sweet, salty, creamy and fresh. Add plump tomatoes and you get a fantastic little twist, their slightly acidic, savoury depth and firmer texture bridge the watermelon and feta, amp up juiciness in a more grown up way and introduce umami notes that make every bite more complex and irresistibly salad worthy.
