This is one of the easiest salads to throw together: but the combination of salt and sweet, creamy and crunchy, is more addictive than the sum of its parts. It’s a perfect picnic recipe because it can take more bashing than a leaf-heavy salad, and can withstand a fair bit more sunshine too. It doesn’t technically need a dressing because the flavours are already quite explosive, but I can recommend an Asian-inspired sesame-chili-lime dressing to accompany it.
Try it with these Southern-style crispy drumsticks.

How to make watermelon and feta salad
Chop your watermelon into cubes, crumble the feta over it, and toss with the rocket and pine-nuts. It’s that easy! If you’re taking a dressing, make sure to only dress it immediately before serving.
