Watermelon and Mozzarella Salad

Watermelon and Mozzarella Salad #

If you want to try something new this summer try making a Melon Mozzarella Salad

Ingredients (serves 4) #

1 kg of water melon

500 g honey melon

1 cucumber

2 packs of mozzarella (make it a good one!)

Some black olives

1 or 2 fresh chillies

1 lemon

Fleur de Sel d'Estrenc

4 tablespoons of olive oil

A handful of fresh basil leaves

• Peel and cut water and honey melon in bite-sized cubes and slice cucumber. Put it all in a big bowl. Remove pips from olives, cut in slices and add to melon and cucumber mix.
  
• For your dressing, deseed chillies and chop finely; wash lemon with hot water, grate the zest and squeeze the juice. Mix chillies, lemon zest and juice with olive oil, add Fleur de Sel d'Estrenc to your taste. Pour dressing over your salad
  
• Strain the mozzarella, cut in pieces of about 1 x 1 cm and add carefully so as not to squash them up (would taste equally good but not look half as inviting)
  
• Pluck the basil leaves of the stem and sprinkle them over your salad.

Enjoy!

AM Tip: By squashing the olives with the flat side of your cutting knife first, it's easy to get the pips out.
