    Melon and cucumber salad with mint, feta cream & honey-chilli dressing

    By Diana Henry

    • Preparation time: 10 minutes
    • Total time: 10 minutes 10 minutes

    Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    100g Essential Greek Feta, crumbled
    125g Greek yogurt
    1/2 ripe Galia melon (choose one with a good perfume)
    1 small ridge cucumber
    1 tbsp white wine vinegar
    2 tsp clear honey, plus extra to drizzle
    ½-1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped, to taste
    3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    10 sprigs mint, leaves only
    1 tsp sesame seeds, toasted

    Method

    1. Mash together the feta and yogurt. It should be coarse. Remove the seeds from the melon. Cut into wedges and remove the skin from each wedge.

    2. Cut the flesh into chunks. Peel the cucumber and halve lengthways, then cut the flesh on the diagonal into slices about the thickness of a 50p coin. Add to the melon.

    3. To make the dressing, mix together the vinegar, honey, chilli and seasoning, then use a fork to whisk in the olive oil. Taste for seasoning.

    4. Toss the melon, cucumber and mint leaves with the dressing. Divide between 4 plates and spoon some of the feta cream partially over each serving. Drizzle a tiny bit of honey over the feta cream, grind on some black pepper, sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve.
