The watermelon must be very cold and the feta must be a good creamy Danish or Greek block — the salty-tang is what balances the sugar.
Method
- 01
Arrange the watermelon on a wide, shallow platter. Nestle the feta chunks between the cubes.
- 02
Scatter over the red onion, mint and basil.
- 03
Squeeze over the lime juice. Drizzle with chilli crisp and basil oil. Finish with flaky salt. Serve immediately, straight from the fridge.
Keep cooking
