We are having a glorious summer in London, it's scorching so food needs are very different. No dreams of bangers & mash or a fish pie! When there is 30 degrees outside my body requires different kind of treatment.
When it started being really warm I asked my hubby to get on his way back a watermelon. Did not think to specify how much of that watermelon I'd have liked. No instructions given so hubby got a whole big monster. I love watermelon but how much of it do I need to it every day? Needles to say I am in the only fruit lover in this little household of two.
Going through one of my favourite cookbooks ever Yotam Ottolenghi's Plenty I found this recipe - super quick summer lunch, supper or snack.
Watermelon and feta salad
Ingredients:
All you need is watermelon, feta , basil leaves and olive oil.
Proportions for two:
500 g of watermelon cut into large chunks, bottom part discarded
100g of feta sliced thinly
a handful of basil leaves
Let's do it (the shortest ever!)
Arrange the three in a salad bowl drizzle some extra virgin olive oil and you are done!
Happy summer!
