Watermelon Salad

It's sweet, juicy, refreshing, and perfectly balanced by the savoury feta cheese.

how to cook.
Chops' random musings: Can I actually say I'm giving you cooking instructions when there's no cooking involved? Hmm...
Cut all items according to instructions above.
Arrange the salad leaves in the salad bowl with a hole in the centre.
Distribute the Japanese cucumber and red onions around the salad leaves.
Pile the watermelon cubes in the centre of the salad.
Crumble the white cheese with your hands and drizzle the olive oil in the packet all over the salad ingredients.
Drizzle more olive oil on top.
Spinkle the chopped mint and basil leaves all over the top.
Grate some salt and black pepper over the dish.
Serve and enjoy!
